Under the Sea Card

Happy Saturday, BRI friends!

It's Dana here from Dana G.Crafts and I'm so happy to be guesting for BRI blog today with under the sea themed card.

For today's card, I started by stamping cute images from Studio Katia Under the Sea Stamp Set and Mermaid For Each Other Stamp Set with MFT Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I colored them with alcohol markers and die cut all pieces using each coordinating die set.

Next, I pulled out cold pressed watercolor paper and watercolored it with Gansai Tambi Watercolor 36 Color Set for background. Then, I die cut shaker window using Studio Katia Seashell Shaker from watercolor panel and a piece of silver glitter paper.

I adhered clear acetate behind the shaker window and mounted silver glitter frame as shown. I then built a shaker using foam adhesive. For shaker elements, I mixed Studio Katia Sparkling Sea Confetti, March Crystals, Flowers Chunky Confetti Glitter.

After I finished a shaker, I stamped sentiment from Studio Katia Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and mounted all colored pieces using glue tape and foam adhesive as shown in the picture. I also stamped tiny bubbles from Studio Katia Under the Sea Stamp Set with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feather Distress Oxide Inks.

To finish, I adhered sparkling details to mermaid taile and starfish using Spectrum Noir Sprakle Pen, sea background using Studio Katia Just Chuncky Confetti Glitter and Ranger Multi Medium Matte.

Thank you So much for joining me today. Happy crafting!

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

Penny Black All Lit Up + MFT Delightful Deer

Hi everyone, Amanda here today with a project I created using my favorite theme, nature and deer combined! Add in a little distress inking and WOW! So I started with an A2 sized panel. I cut a hill using Newton's Nook Designs Land Borders to create a mask for the bottom. I distress inked from center of my panel, working outward using a combination of yellows, greens and blues. I inked all the way down to the hill, then removed it to leave the white of the card appearing to be a snow hill. Now I take this GORGEOUS stamp, All Lit Up by Penny Black and stamp it using VersaFine Black Onyx ink. Using my MISTI, I was able to stamp it twice to get a nice dark impression. I then cut white acrylic paint 50/50 and tapped it on my night sky using a small paint brush. You'll notice on the image, there are little circles where you'd color in your lights or ornaments. I chose to use Nuvo Drops in gold and silver. While all that was drying, I cut out a deer from
