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!
