New Design Team Introductions!

Today we are sharing with you our FIVE new Design Team Members!!! I'm super excited about this term because it includes my favorite season, FALL, and my favorite holiday, Christmas!!! <3 So in the spirit of not rambling on forever like I normally would (haha), let's meet the new girls!!!

First up, we have Ashley Fowler! She’s an AMAZING scrapbooker and has an incredible channel on YouTube! She’s a Texas-born, brand new mom to a beautiful baby girl! Her pages are so ethereal and beautiful! I love how she plays with paper and makes the photos front stage for each layout! Just GORGEOUS!!! Ashley has been on the Hip Kit Club and Citrus Twist Design Teams as well as Guest Designed for American Crafts. WOOO HOOO! So excited to be adding a scrapper to the team!

Next, we have the lovely Audrey Tokach! She is a mom of two boys, currently living in Florida! Audrey has been a Guest Designer for the shop in the past and you might recognize her from her FABULOUS projects for the Lawnscaping Challenge or Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge. She's got a few other DT gigs under her belt as well. She’s a busy girl! ;) Ha! She is also totally head over heels in love with watercoloring (aren’t we all?!) and Copics! Audrey's cards are nothing short of AMAZING and I know you'll all adore them if you haven't been already!

We are so excited to also have Jung AhSang on our team! She’s a stay at home to 2 beautiful little girls and lives in the great state of Texas – yeehaw! She’s a brilliant card maker, but that’s not all! She also loves to scrapbook and make December Dailies! Triple threat, baby! hehe Her work is impeccable and we’re so happy she’ll be with us this term!

Brandi Hall is our next lovely lady (we're all just SO lovely, aren't we?! haha) joining the team and she’s a very talented card maker! One of her cards was just spotted by Avery Elle, one of her favorite stamp companies. (Look out in the shop for their new release SOON!) You may also know her from her previous Design Team work with the CAS(E) this Sketch, Sweet Stamp Shop and Fusion Card Challenges blogs! Her cards are so bright and cheery! She’s a total watercolor lover and I must say she's quite AMAZING at it!!!

Lastly, but definitely not least, we have Emily Midgett! She’s a stay at home mom to ‘two little twinkies’ as she calls them (adorable!) and just an amazing crafter! Her cards are just breathtaking and stunning! Seriously, WOW!!! Her work with the Zig Clean Color Brush Markers are just swoon-worthy, I’m telling you! This is Emily's FIRST TIME being on a Design Team so I'm especially excited to have her joining us!!! Everybody all together now... WOWWWWW!!! <3

And that’s the team! I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us and hope you enjoy seeing their projects both here on the blog and on Instagram. We might even have some YouTube videos coming at you soon!!! Thanks again to ALL that applied. It's always a challenge to get it narrowed down to just a few. There are SO many super talented crafty ladies among us. We'll continue to have Open Calls so please, PLEASE don't be discouraged. Keep up the good work and we'll see you on IG. :)

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool for the first time and loved it! I cut my own Tim Holtz watercolor paper to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer. I stamped my sentiments that are by Lawn Fawn Hello Baby with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks . I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things Snuggle Bunnies for the girl and Magical Dragons for th

Painting backwards....

Hello, hello! Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog . It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink! Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards. What do I mean, you wonder? Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color. For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks. You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color. I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any water based inks w

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

Hey, hey BRI friends! We're hopping today to celebrate the 4th Birthday of Altenew , one of our favorite stamping companies! You should have arrived here from the Altenew blog , and we're glad you're here to share the excitement! There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! With you today, is Norine from The Velvet Lemon creating for Butterfly Reflections Ink and I have some projects to share today, that I made using some recently released Altenew products . First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set . I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored. I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush . I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge, then tore the vel
