Here we go
I decided to create a Double Z-fold Card.
Such a great stamp, so many possibilities, I random stamped the butterfly.  Though, have other ideas, it's a work in progress and I need a 36 hour DAY!! 

Second attempt - larger size card (5X7)
to accommodate the large butterfly
Also decided to ink the butterfly using
Ink Oxides
 
Materials:
Paprika and White Daisy cardstock 
 Intense Black Ink
The White Daisy Z fold card measures 7" X 10-1/2" 
scored at 2-3/4, 5-1/2.
 
The smaller inserted Z card measures 
4" x 9" scored at 3" and 6"
To create a contrast, I colored the butterfly using
Distressed Oxide inks: mixed "Mustard Seed" with "Candied Apple" to emphasize the larger flowers creating the Paprika tone and colored around them with Peacock Feathers 
 I wasn't happy with my first attempt.
I needed a larger card 
4 1/4 X 5 1/2 just wasn't large enough 
for that lovely butterfly!
