Simple Saturday with Butterfly Gala

Better With You Note Card Tutorial

My lighting is a work in progress with this historic house, but these butterflies are bright and cheery regardless of the house lighting!  Balmy Blue ink creates a two-tone effect when stamped as full strength for the outline stamp and stamped off for the filler stamps.  When stamped off before stamping it is called generational stamping.  The first image stamped is the first generation and the second image is second generation, and so on.  Using this technique you can create lots of effects with very few colors and it also fits our #simplestamping!

2.  Stamp your choice of large butterfly outline two times.  To ink, simply keep the small butterfly off the ink pad.  Stamp in Balmy Blue Ink.
