Highlight the swirls and spirals of the new Gypsy Swallow-tail with a coordinating background and a greeting that matches too!  Hi, Jean here with another design from our Summer Meadow collection.  It's 3D- and heat-embossed, glittered and layered in a warm mix of yellows for summer thank-yous.

Cut Gypsy Swallow-tail from natural cardstock (body and wing overlay), ink-blended cardstock (narrow yellow center strip) and gold Glitzy Glitter Pad (wing background and top accent strip).

Color the beak section with pale orange and black markers and attach it behind the head.  

Cut Summer Squash with the 3.25" Circle Basics die.  Press Cheerful VersaFine Clair ink onto the smoother side  of the Spiral Delight 3D Embossing Folder.  Spritz both sides of the cardstock circle with a light mist of water.  Place it in the Spiral Delight 3D Embossing Folder and pressure-emboss it with the plate(s) required for your machine.  Heat-emboss the design with detail clear powder to highlight the design.  The spirals will curl to the left, matching the bird's wing.  Details, details!

Attach the diecuts to a side-folded Summer Squash A2 card - use a liquid adhesive like Tacky Glue for the area over the shiny embossed circle and foam tape for the wing and tail.

Attach a Thank You Foil Greetings Black Circle Tab with Tacky Glue.  Add punched 1/4" dots of the Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting our blog - hope you're enjoying our designs from the  Summer Meadow release!
