This is one of the first cards I made with the large new Swallowtail stamp. It was also my trial run for the So Sorry set.
I like to use a brayer when applying craft ink to large detailed stamps. It helps preserves the detail. Both the greeting and image are embossed in white.
I made up variations of this with different greetings as part of little Christmas gifts for some of my co-workers. Very quick to do!

Can you clarify for me sorry being very slow... did you brayer it in white craft and then emboss with white powder or clear? Love the simplicity and cleaness of it thanks

Thanks for the question, Liz. I brayered white craft ink onto my stamp and embossed with white powder. You could use another embossing ink, eg Versamark, instead. While you could emboss with clear powder over white ink I don't think your image would be as distinct as the image you get with white powder.
