This card was made using retired color & paper but it can easily be made with any of our current colors.

Fabulous Phrases stamp set; Concord Crush ink, cardstock and DSP; Silver Glimmer paper; Blossom Party Originalz and Lattice Bigz dies; Little Leaves Sizzlet; Perfect Polka Dots TIEF; Itty Bitty Shapes(circle) and Artisan Label punches.

I ran out of the specialty paper for my other Swallowtail card so switched it out for this version for my second session of class this month.  It's hard to see but the butterfly is actually sparkly as I added our glitter to the embossing powder before heating.

Swallowtail and Remembering Your Birthday stamp sets; Baked Brown Sugar cardstock and inkpad; Versamark inkpad; Pool Party Embossing Powder; Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

An exact case of a card I received as a convention swap (can't find the original so not sure who to credit).  Simple and elegant!
