What an easy, gorgeous way to dress up plain paper and envelopes! I go to places where they sell cards, often they have excess envelopes which they sell in bundles. As for the paper, I would try using just white paper and envelopes and with say food coloring, dab color on the edges of the doilies and let dry, then glue. Just a tinge so you can see them on the white, or if you have watercolor(just one of those little pallets of 8 colors they sell for kids in say a dollar store. Then you have the fun of mixing your own colors!

We have a small printery in town that sells office supplies and I found tons of their surplus stationary from orders selling cheap. I bought quite a bit of pastels like pink and green! Envelopes were there also to match!

I love your idea - it's really beautiful- but where did you get the stationery? All you can find in the Norfolk area is note cards. Even card shops like Hallmark and American Greetings no longer carry stationery. I know because I've been trying to find some for months.
