You're the Bee's Knees

Hey friends! Britney here with a card featuring Honey Bee Stamps Bee Hive for those who are the Bee’s Knees! I am just loving all of the bee sets this summer.

If you’re new to my blog posts, I like to start with building up my backgrounds first. I inked up my back panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and the MFT Mini Cloud stencil. For the front panel, I used the largest of the 3 Piece Hexagon Layering Background Stencils and Wild Honey Distress Oxide. I sprayed both backgrounds with Avery Elle Clear Shimmer Spray. After everything was dry, I used an oval die to cut the oval out my front panel.

I stamped my images with Gina K Amalgam Jet Black Ink and colored my images with my Copics. I used all of the images from the Bee Hive set and the branch from the Birds and the Bees set. I finished off my images by adding some highlights with a white gel pen. I used a black glaze pen on the eyes and a shimmer pen for the wings.

I used the coordinating dies to cut out my images. I popped the front panel and the bee hive up using foam tape. Lastly, I used a black pen to draw a “connector” from the branch to the bee hive.

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it. Have a wonderful day and join me again for another blog post.

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

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
