Wow Wednesday with Botanical Butterfl

Thank You So Very Much Card Tutorial

The tutorial for today allows you to choose your own colors for this rainbow effect.  Sponging is a simple way to add color and allows you to make gradual changes to other colors by simply overlapping the colors where they meet.  The more you sponge, the more pigment you'll add.  I prefer the Sponge Daubers for this as they allow you to control where the color ends up better, and they have a finer texture so you get less streaking when you apply ink.  The best part is they come in a pack of 5, so you can pair them with 5 inks for every set you get!  Be sure to keep your Sponge Daubers with your ink so you don't get them mixed up.
