Stampin’ Up!Technique: Spotlighting with the Swallowtail!

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Friday Stampers! Today I want to show you the second card for the Techniques part of my class tomorrow. This card uses the Swallowtail single "background" sized stamp and the butterfly punches to create the "spotlighting" effect:

While the Spotlghting technique is not new, I have never seen anyone use a punch other than a cirlce or a square. Truth be told, this is a technique that I actually woke up thinking about a few weeks ago, so I'm very glad to have a chance to get this idea down on paper! I used the Elegant Butterfly and the Bitty Butterfly punches to achieve this effect.

I finished off the inside with the butterfly stamp in the Sale-a-bration set, Bloomin' Marvelous, and a phrase from You are Loved.

Seems my stamping lately has been dominated by Island Indigo, but I love this color! I'm definitely going to miss it when Stampin' Up! retires this color at the end of May.

That's all for today! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!
