Swallowtail - Helen's class

Hi again for the 4th and final time this evening but at least I've made up some blogging time from the last few weeks.
The 3 cards below are all using the Stampin Up Swallowtail that I fell in love with the 1st time I used it.
These cards were done at Helen's the other night and used 3 different techniques, the 1st one was so simple but looks so lovely, the image was stamped in Rich Razzleberry onto Whisper White Card stock and the sentiment stamped in the right hand corner. A line was then added all around the sides to bring it together, tip - use a long ruler or you'll end up with being slightly off like I managed. The finished piece was then adhered to a piece of Rich Razzleberry card.
The 2nd card took a more more time as it involved embossing, brayering and colouring. Firstly we stamped the image using versa mark and then embossed it in black before colouring it in using SU pens.
Stage 2 involved stamping in versa mark onto a piece of white glossy card and then embossing in white powder, we then brayered over the card using Cherry Cobbler to create a background for Swallowtail. Finally we added some ribbon and a sentiment & the card was complete, will definitely be using this idea again as I think it is stunning.
Finally card 3 involved stamping part of the image onto natural card and colouring it in using daubers and various ink pads before adding a sentiment.
Hope you like them & give them a go yourself.
