Happy Birthday w/ little agenda

 Hello crafty friends! Gladys here and I'm thrilled to be back on the BRI blog today. I have a fun colorful birthday card to share using products from Mama Elephant. 

I'm a huge fan of the Mama Elephant Little Agenda sets and I'm sure I'm not the only one. For my card I used the Little Signage Agenda and I want to apologize that it is currently out of stock on the BRI shop but you can add your name on the wait list and you will be notified once it is back in stock. There are a bunch of critters holding signs and alphabet stamps in this set so you can customize it to whatever you want it to say. I stamp the images in hybrid ink, colored with alcohol markers and cut them out using their coordinating dies

For my background I ink blended the panel with distress oxide inks in blueprint sketch, picked raspberry and scattered straw. I splattered some water and diluted blueprint sketch using a small paint brush for added interest. I die cut a few elements to complete my scene. I used the rainbow high dies cut from colored cardstocks. I also used Lawn Fawn's puffy cloud borders cut from white cardstock and vellum
For the sentiment I used the alphabet stamps on the critters signs. I also heat embossed the word birthday onto a navy blue cardstock and finally stamped the sentiment from an older ME set called Tandem extra onto the cloud border. 

That is all for me I had fun creating this cute birthday card. I hope you found some inspiration. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post. Have an awesome day! Big hugs!!

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

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
