To A Fabulous Friend

Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am so excited to back as a "guest" this month to the Butterfly Reflections, Ink Blog.

Today, I am using the Gorgeous Altenew: Ornate Foliage Stamp Set. I love all the layers and pieces that are included with this set, and it is so easy to line up! To begin my card I stamped the outline with Gina K Amalgam Ink in Jet Black. Next, I stamped all of the layers with Distress Ink. I lined the stamps up in my MISTI, added ink, spritzed the inked stamp up with water and closed the lid. I wanted my colors to blend slightly and have the appearance of watercolor. The Colors I used were: Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Moved Lawn and Lucky Clover. Once my stamping was finished I used the Ornate Foliage Die Set to die cut my images.

For my card panel I did some tone on tone stenciling with the Pretty Pink Posh Wide Stripes Stencil. I am in love with this stencil, it creates the perfect background! The colors I used for my ink blending were Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Abandoned Coral.

To finish my card, I attached my floral images with Foam Adhesive and trimmed down my panel. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment with black ink before attaching everything to my A2 card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a Wonderful summer and find some time to be creative!! I hope to be back again soon sharing another card with you all.

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

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
