Beautiful Swallowtail Birthday Card


I made this gorgeous card with my Stampin' Up! Swallowtail stamp. I absolutely LOVE this stamp and have made several cards with it using many different techniques. I really like how this turned out. The color's awesome and I love the attached butterflies. Here's how to make it:

First cut a 5 1/2" x 9"  piece of Stampin' Up! Elegant Eggplant card stock and fold it in half for the base and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of white for the front layer. 

Next heat emboss the swallowtail on the front layer with Versamark ink and white embossing powder. Then sponge the entire image with Elegant Eggplant ink and use a paper towel or rag to buff ink off the embossed images. The embossed images will resist the sponged ink. Then using a Stamp a ma jig stamp the sentiment with a stamp from a Stampin' Up! Sincere Salutations set in Elegant Eggplant ink. Next cut the butterflies out of Stampin' Up! Berry Blossom Designer Series Paper (retired) with a Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslit, attach them to the front layer with mini pop dots, attach the front layer to the base and enjoy!
