Butterfly Envelope

Hello crafty friends, it’s June! Today I have a card to share using some of my favorite older products.

One of the first Pretty Pink Posh products I had my eyes on, even before joining the team as a guest designer, was the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set. I love butterfly-themed everything and I think these ones are like the name suggests, beautiful!

I usually make cards where these butterflies are the main focus, but this time I wanted to add one of the Fall Envelopes in the center so the butterflies could flutter around it. I’m so over the winter cards by now, so I went with a green, pink and red color palette for my images to get ready for spring. I stamped them in brown ink instead of black to make everything look a bit softer.

To add onto the butterfly theme, I stenciled a green background using the Butterfly Background stencil. I went with Shabby Shutters and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide. I also splattered some thinned out white acrylic paint on my panel like usual. I cut it out using my favorite background die, the Stitched Torn Rectangle. 

I embossed one of the sentiments from the newly released Valentine Greetings stamp set on some brown cardstock, which compliments the brown ink I used for the stamped images. Even though it’s a Valentine’s Day themed set, I think these sentiments are very useful for occasions outside of Valentine’s Day to! Many of them are neutral enough to use on any card to give to someone you appreciate.

I really like how the card ended up looking, there’s almost a vintage look with the color scheme while still being colorful and spring-y! I hope you enjoyed reading about my card as much and I enjoyed making it :)

See you again soon, bye for now!
