Swallowtail March Play Day Project

Hello, friends!  Just wanted to share our fourth project from March Play Day with you today.  It is a CASE of a card I found on Lydia Fiedler's blog, Understand Blue, in her February 1, 2013 post.  She has a detailed video showing how she made the card.

Here is my recipe for the card:

STAMPS:  Swallowtail, Teeny Tiny Wishes

CARDSTOCK:
     Very Vanilla:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
     First Edition DSP:  4 x 5-1/4
     Scraps:  Very Vanilla

INK:  Kraft Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake

ACCESSORIES:  Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Very Vanilla Brads, Black Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Aqua Painter, Gesso (non-SU), Sponge Brush (non-SU).

Basically, we painted the First Edition DSP with Gesso, let it dry, then heat embossed the Swallowtail stamp with black embossing powder and painted it with reinkers.  It was easier than it looks!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stampin and scrappin,
Linda
