Fluttering Butterflies PPA171
PPA171 Color Challenge
Welcome to Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge PPA171. Are you ready for our play date? The butterflies certainly are. Say hello to my fluttering butterflies.
Inspiration for this came from right in my backyard. It seems the butterflies are making sure we notice them just before the season is over. Sometimes they flutter by quickly like the subtle background images and other times they make a bold color statement.
Speaking of a bold statement, have you gotten your new Envelope Punch Board yet?

Or, maybe you prefer the Framelit Envelope Liners.

Whatever your preference, they’re well worth the extra effort. I love choices, don’t you?
Fluttering Butterflies with Custom Envelopes
Punching the customer envelope with the Elegant Butterfly Punch lets your card peek through.

In case you’re wondering, yes, you can mail Designer Series Paper (This and That Epic Day used here) envelopes if you take the proper measures. For instance, instead of writing the address directly on the envelope, use a label. I’ve been in the commercial print and mailing industry for most of my traditional career and have seen a lot of mistakes. But that’s a topic for a future blog post.
The faux background paper was created by stamping Papillon Potpourri Stamp set and small water spots from Gorgeous Grunge with VersaMark and heat embossing with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

Your card is beautiful and I love the punched butterfly in envelope. That is a great idea!
Beautiful Rae! I love the embossing creating movement. The paper piercing and fancy ribbon edge are a perfect finishing touch. Gorgeous!
Just stunning Rae. I maintain that you can never go wrong with butterflies for ANY occasion. Also love how the colours have been used to pop against the neutral. ooxx
