VIDEO: Grunge Swallowtail Surprise Card

swallowtail grunge - stampin up-combo

WOW! That was what I said when I saw this butterfly cut out card designed by Ingrid Blackburn. I knew immediately I had to make it, it was too beautiful and eye catching to pass up. Featuring the Swallowtail Butterfly stamp, Dictionary and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets in an eclectic mix that goes together so perfectly. I love the way the butterfly flows unto the back of the card for a little “surprise” for the recipient, and the cool way to make the Grunge Splatters look like watercolor paints.

It’s amazingly easy to do, check out my video below for the instructions.
