Spooktacular day



Hello crafty friends! I hope you are all doing well. I'm thrilled to be back on the blog to share my project with you today. With Halloween just around the corner I thought it would be fun to make a slimline card featuring some products from Lawn Fawn's recent release. I hope you will like it. 


To start I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using Trinity Stamps slimline dies. I used distress inks to create the sky background. I lightly blended spun sugar, wilted violet and blueprint sketch then with heavier hand I used a stencil to create the clouds. I darkened the edges using black soot. To add more interest I diluted black soot with some water and splattered it on the background using a small brush. To ground my images I cut two shades of green card stock using Lawn Fawn's slimline stitched hills

Next I colored the images from the Fox Costumes stamp set using Copic markers. I can't get enough how cute these critters are in their little costumes. I also colored a few images from older stamp sets to complete my night scene. The trees are from Tree Before 'n Afters, the clouds and gravestones are from Spooky Village. I cut them out using their coordinating dies. 


I arranged the images and adhered them using a combination of liquid glue and double sided foam tape. I added a few highlights using a white gelly roll pen and Nuvo white blizzard on the bee's wing. Finally I stamped the sentiment on the top center of my card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog. I hope you find some inspiration from this post. Happy crafting and stay safe everyone!!

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

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
