Paper Arts Color Challenge (PPA36)? Everyone is invited to join in the fun using any
brand of stamping supplies. Check out the PPA Design Team's inspiration samples, all designed around these delicious pastels. Give the PPA color challenge a try and share your creation
on the Pals Paper Arts
challenge blog.
To create the colorful butterfly, I heat embossed Stampin' Up!'s Fine Flourish stamp (a single stamp from the Occasions Mini, p. 42) in black on White Vellum Card Stock.- Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Write Markers in Lavender Lace, Barely Banana and Certainly Celery added quick color to my fluttery friend.
- Color blocking gives a nice background punch but still keeps this card simple. My Corner Rounder Punch helped define the corners.
- Envelope Envy? Check out my Lining an Envelope Tips & Video.
- The "heartfelt thanks" sentiment is from the Sweetheart stamp set. Yes, yes, yes. This set and the Sweet Treat Heart Cups are still available but not currently in a Stampin' Up! catalog. Click here for more Sweetheart details and how to order. Sweetheart images below.
