Dim sum-body say it's your birthday?

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog!!!
Today it's my turn to keep you company and I decided to do it with this happy card featuring a bunch of Mama Elephant products.

I started by stamping images from "Zodiac Dragon" and "Dim Sum Fun" stamp sets with LDRS raven ink, I colored them with alcohol markers and I fussy cut them.
I then die cut two panels using the "Hexastar" die, one from white cardstock and one from Lawn Fawn kraft cardstock.

I ink blended the white one with fossilized amber, carved pumpkin and ripe parsimon Distress Oxide inks, I splattered with clean water and loosened fired brick ink and I added a golden touch with some drops of Indian gold Nuvo mousse.
I then used the hexagon die from the "Hexastar" set to die cut a window in the kraft cardstock panel, I distressed the edges with vintage photo Oxide ink and I splattered with mowed lawn and fired brick Distress Oxide inks loosened with water.

I built up my scene using both liquid glue and foam squares and I added some Trinity Stamps sparkling confetti here and there.
Here are some close-ups.

I really had so much fun making this card and rediscover an old stamp set.
Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me.
I wish you a wonderful day. Hugs, Silvia.

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
