I was excited to try this idea, using Sponge Daubers and Stampin’ UP! ink pads to QUICKLY and easily blend colors on these Butterfly Gala punched images!  As you’ll see in this post and the video below, it’s super easy to stamp the butterfly in black ink, then add a few colors onto the butterfly and punch out with the Butterfly Duet punch!!
