Swallowtail in Blue and Green

I am participating in a SWAP with one of my other Yahoo groups.  The SWAP is called and blue and green swap in that everything about the card has to be in shades of blue and green. 
This is my card:

The image was stamped with Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock, and coloured with Night of Navy and Old Olive blendabilities.  Some dazzling details was added to the body for texture and added interest.  After the dazzling details was day, the butterfly was cut out and adhered to a Silver Glimmer paper that had been sprayed with a green reinker diluted in some water. The basic card stock is Midnight Muse.

Stamps: Swallowtail, Flower Patch
Inks: Memento, Midnight Muse, Blendabilities (Night of Navy, Old Olive), Old Olive reinker
Papers: Midnight Muse (retired), Silver Glimmer, Whisper White
Accessories: Dazzling Details

Flower Patch Thank You - Technostamper 318

It's my Open House today, but there's not much traffic.  Some who were going to come were ill, some had gone to the trailer, and others stayed away because of the cool, windy weather.
I went for a walk beside the river at 8 this morning and I felt sorry for the people who had moored by the lift locks.  It must have been darn chilly for them last night, and this morning.

I just love the Flower Patch stamp set, and just had to use it to do the challenge with Technostamper here.  I love the new in-colours too!

Be You(Tiful)

What a drastic change in the temperature today.  This morning it was hot and humid, then a thunderstorm rolled through, and now its decidedly chilly.  I was hoping that the lawn would be cut today as its my Open House tomorrow, but the grass is too wet.  Oh well!

This is another sample card for the Open House tomorrow:

This is really the first time I have used Photopolymer stamps and was pleasantly surprised.  I guess I had a bias against them feeling they weren't quite up to par with the regular stamps from SU.  But they stamped very well, and, they did not fall off the clear blocks.  They did, however, stain a little bit.

Stamp: Flower Patch
Inks: Basic Black, Rich Razzelberry, Blissful Blackberry, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral
Papers: Crushed Curry, Whisper White
Accessories: Flower Patch framelits (Note:  there is no framelit for the darker multileaved stamp, but with the photopolymer stamp it was easy to stamp over the Pear Pizzazz die just eyeballing it), 3/8" Tangelo Twist stitched satin ribbon, dimensionals
