I love hand coloring my ribbon - Dina got me hooked on this at CHA. it's so quick and easy because of the alcohol speeding the drying time. For this challenge, I took yellow seam binding and dyed it with an orange Touch marker for a beautiful peachy effect. Then I used the same colors on my butterfly.
