Swallowtail CASE

Happy Extremely Frigid Tuesday to you!

The east coast is hit with the coldest weather we have had in 20 years.  Most areas were below freezing last night.  I am going to stay inside today and play!  How about you?

My card today is for the CASE challenge at SUDSOL.  Each week we are giving a picture of a card in either the catalog, mini, or our Stampin’ Success magazine.  This week our card comes from our magazine.

When I looked at this the background said Smokey Slate.  I pulled out that pad.  It also has a few of the other colors scattered around the background.  I knew I would have to do that also.  The rest is pretty straight forward.  I decided to try this with 2 different background stamps.  I am sharing one with you today.

For this card I used the Swallowtail background stamp.  I combined it with Gumball Green and Island Indigo.  I colored in a few spots of the butterfly with my blender pen and ink in the lid technique.  To get the lighter color, I offstamped the stamp 2 times to get the color I wanted.  Here is what I created using this idea.

This is a very easy card to make.  It would be a good one to mass produce and you can change the sentiment to be what ever you want.  Thanks for visiting me today.  I hope my card inspired you.  Have a Terrific Tuesday and Stay Warm!
