If you’d like to make a quick and easy card, this is it!
I used the Butterfly Gala Bundle which includes the Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Butterfly Duet Punch. With the stamp set I stamped the sentiment & the butterfly and used the punch to cut out the butterfly. When you purchase bundles, you always save 10% and this bundle is only while supplies last. Both products will be returning when the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog goes live on June 4, 2019, but bundles in any current catalog right now, are only available while supplies last!

After stamping the butterfly onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink, I colored one side using a Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend. Then I added Light Lovely Lipstick near the center of the butterfly (note where the color is darker on the butterfly). Then to blend the two colors, I added another layer of Dark Flirty Flamingo. I continued doing this until I had the shade I was looking for. Then I repeated the process on the other side. You want the ink to be a little bit wet when trying to blend the colors which is why I did one side of the butterfly at a time.
