Mixed Media Swallowtail

I've really become more interested in mixed media lately, so I thought I'd start working through some of the awesome tutorials and challenges over on Splitcoast Stampers.  This card was for the second challenge from way back in Febuary 2013.   It was to do emboss resist.  I inked up my Stampni' Up! Swallowtail stamp and went to work.  I used distress sprays, inks, and water for the color part.  Pretty fun to make and I love the result!

Stamps:  Stampin' Up! Swallowtail, Simon Says Stamp It's Your Birthday
Ink:  Versamark, Tim Holtz Abandoned Coral, Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon, and Black Soot, Versafine Onyx Black
Paper:  Canson watercolor paper

Laila having fun with craft time.  The schedule/chart is helping a lot, but we've still have several rough days.  Thursday and yesterday were just killers.  We did meet with her doctor on Thursday and have a referral for further testing with a specialist.  I hope we can figure out what exactly she has going on and learn ways to help her.  :(
