Timeless Butterfly for PPA299
Another Thursday, another challenge and a timeless butterfly for PPA299 with Pals Paper Arts.
When I saw this beautiful, delicate trio of colors Pals Paper Arts design team member, Peggy Noe immediately came to mind. Her projects are like a breath of fresh air. Always so beautiful. With that in mind it was easy to choose butterflies for the project theme today. Thank you Peggy for a great pallet to work with.
For the last couple of weeks my posts have featured primarily retiring product. Today’s project shows you some items that carry over to the new catalog. Well, all except one, White 1-1/4″ Jute Ribbon. You can see a little strip of it peeking from behind the butterfly.
Background: Is created with Timeless Textures Clear Mount Stamp Set…. one of my favorites! So glad it will be around another year.
Greeting: I’m a big fan of fun greeting fonts. This “Happy Birthday” stamp is no exception. It comes from the Butterfly Basics Photopolymer Stamp Set.
Butterfly: Two butterfly Thinlit/Framelit sets were used to create the glamorous butterfly. The background layer is created with the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies and Gold Glimmer Paper. The top butterfly layer is cut from Pink Pirouette Card Stock using the Butterflies Thinlits Dies.
Balance the Glitz: Place a few gold sequins in the background to balance and soften the glitzy, Gold Glimmer Paper.
Voila, a timeless butterfly birthday card. Now, it’s your turn. Visit PPA299 at Pals Paper Arts for more information and join us for a paper play date.

Such a gorgeous card Rae! Love the way you used Timeless Textures. And that sentiment from Butterfly Basics is one of my favorites. And, the blingy butterfly ~ wow!
Thank you Peggy!
Love the texture, the gold glimmer with pink tones for the butterfly, the amazing soft details… can you tell it’s a winner card, Rae? Love your style!!
Thank you so much Katy. That means so much coming from an artist like you.
Very pretty with lots of rich texture. Love that background! Great job as always!
Thank you, thank you Chris!
Love this card Rae! That pink on the gold glimmer paper is just so pretty, and the texture is perfect.
Thank you Lynn.
Such a beautiful card, Rae! I love how you’ve used the jute ribbon – and all that shiny goodness behind the butterfly. Love it!
Thank you Brian… the glitter is just for you. I mean glimmer. 🙂
So pretty, Rae. Lots of texture in the background, but it manages to stay light and fresh. Love the glimmer behind the butterfly.
Thank you Shawn. Amazing how things can be toned down. I was surprised at the outcome.
Beautiful how you tucked the gold glitter behind the open detail of the butterfly!
Thank you Mary. It turned out better than I had imagined.
