Out of This World Father's Day Card

Happy June everybody! It’s Britney here, and I am showing off a fun Father’s Day card featuring the Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up and Out of this World stamp sets. I think this could be made into a fun birthday card. 
This is a fun tunnel card. I followed Jennifer McGuire’s tutorial to make it. I cut an inside and outside panel using the Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrop to give it that galaxy feel. 
Typical me, I stamped almost every image from the set. I stamped my images with Gina K Amalgam Jet Black Ink and colored my images with Copic Markers. I finished off my images by adding some highlights with a white gel pen and used a black glaze pen for the eyes.
I used the Simple Stitched Hillside borders to cut a light grey piece of cardstock to resemble the moon or a planet. I splattered on some color using Ground Espresso and Black Soot distress oxide, Hickory Smoke distress ink, and some of the white paint from my Gansai Tambi Starry Colors set
After everything was dry, I stamped my sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink on my light grey piece.  Because I assembled my card before stamping the sentiments on the inside, I just stamped them on a separate strip and glued them where I wanted them. Just a little trick for you when you forget to stamp your sentiments. I used Lawn Fawn Clear Ink and white embossing powder for the sentiments on the inside of my card. 
I hope you enjoyed these cards. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

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

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

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
