Swallowtail Tri-fold

Today I'm continuing my journey with the gorgeous Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and I've paired it with the Swallowtail stamp - which always adds instant wow!  And - who doesn't love a Tri-fold card?

The Fancy Foil Vellum adds interest and richness to a simple design

I've taken the dot and diagonal themes a step further by using the Large Polka Dot and Stylish Stripes embossing folders.

The dots and diagonals are continued in the embossed panels

The greeting is from the That Thing You Did stamp set, stamped in Basic Black. I used the Out of the Box technique to cut out the butterfly using one of the Chalk Talk framelits.  The edges are inked with Lost Lagoon ink.

The colours I used are Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Soft Sky, Tip Top Taupe and Chocolate Chip.

Thank you for visiting today, I hope you like the card.

'Til next time

  1. Hi Stephanie! This is such a GORGEOUS card! I saw this on Splitcoaststampers and thought I'd stop by and visit and take a closer look. I just love that beautiful butterfly and this fold too. I'm having a 50th Blog Challenge celebration and the theme is Good as Gold - Join Me!
