Swallowtail Butterfly


Good morning, it's my turn to choose the theme this time round at Allsorts and it's a seasonal one of Autumn along with the usual Anything Goes option. Our prizes comes from Stamp Addicts and Simon Says.

A fairly simple card using Stamp Addicts Swallow Tail Butterfly, stamped twice onto vellum, stamped Lavinia leaves and some soft stencilling.


And a second one made a few weeks ago using several Lavinia stamps with a Halloween feel.

Two gorgeous cards, perfect for the Autumn theme

A fabulous autumnal feel to your first card and a sorta spooky feel to the second. Both beautifully created. xxx

Both cards are absolutely enchanting—the vellum butterflies have such a delicate, ethereal quality, and the soft stenciling adds a lovely sense of movement. The autumnal palette paired with Lavinia leaves feels so serene and seasonal. Your second card brings a wonderfully moody, mystical vibe with those Halloween-inspired stamps—perfectly atmospheric and full of story.

I love the gentle playfulness and colours of the first card. I am starting to think I need those leaves! Your second card with a touch of spookiness on a traditional wreath looks wonderful.
