Swallowtail-Illusion Card-Blender Pen Emboss Resist

Are you in love with butterflies?  I've got a Swanky Swallowtail for ya using the Blender Pen Emboss Resist technique.

Ooooooo. . . . don't you just think it's gorgeous?  Yummy, yummy.

NOTE: This Illusion card fits in a standard envelope even though it looks like an odd sized card.

I used the Swallowtail background stamp (#131943 wood, #129216 clear) and the 

A Dozen Thoughts stamp set (#131056 wood, #131059 clear) - love that set!  So great and versatile.

Ok.  So we begin with VersaMark ink, the black embossing powder (#109133), along with the heat tool (#129053), then coloring in with the blender pens (#102845) and inks.

Inks:  Crushed Curry (#131173), Elegant Eggplant (126969), Tangerine Tango (#126946) & VersaMark (#102283).

The cardstocks are Whisper White (#100730) and Crushed Curry (#131199).  And then the wonderful Designer Series Paper I used is the Eastern Elegance (130131).

The yummy ribbon is the 3/4" Chevron in Crushed Curry (130019).  The butterfly was cut out with that cool tool everyone needs - the Paper Snips (103579).  And then SNAIL (#104331), glue dots (#103683) and dimensionals (#104430) finished out the job.

Hope your day doesn't get up and just fly away from you!  Make something fun.
