It's a very simple card to make, but is very striking! For a 5" x 7" card, I cut a 5 x 3-3/4 rectangle of Whisper White and stamped the Swallowtail in Versamark ink slightly off - center. I heat embossed with black embossing powder and set aside to cool. For the card base, I used a 10" x 7" piece of Copacabana card stock folded in half to make a 5"x 7" card. The En Francais stamp is stamped 4 times on the back to cover the corners, with the "seams" of the stamping under the Crushed Curry card stock and Swallowtail image. Then I sponged the card base edges with Bermuda Bay ink and a sponge dauber. Then I embossed the Crushed Curry (3" x 7") with the Modern Mosaic TIEF and Big Shot, and sponged the edges and ridges with Crushed Curry ink. When the Swallowtail image was dry, I rubbed over it with Crushed Curry and Chocolate Chip ink and sponge daubers, edged the Whisper White with Copacabana almost to the butterfly and Bermuda Bay along the edge. Added the sentiment in Copacabana ink over the Artisan Label punched from Bermuda Bay card stock. Voila! Enjoy!
