Concord & 9th--Summer card using Fall stamps

Good morning, friends! Amy Copeland here with a Summery card featuring a Fall-themed stamp set by Concord & 9th. I love this Grateful For Everything stamp set, so I started by stamping the large floral cluster onto 110 lb smooth white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored it in with Copic Markers. I'm not especially pleased with the way the flowers turned out, but they look better in person and practice makes perfect, right? :) After coloring in the floral and leaves cluster, I put the paper back in my MISTI and re-stamped it using VersaMark ink, then heat embossed over the VersaMark using gold embossing powder and my heat tool.

I then used the coordinating die set for Grateful for Everything to cut out the cluster. I used a Stitched Rectangle die to cut a card front out of light blue card stock and lightly stenciled a tone-on-tone background using the MFT Stamps Captivating Mandala Stencil. It's hard to see it in the picture since it's such a light ink.

I lined up the sentiment from the Grateful for Everything stamp set in my MISTI and stamped it using the Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink. I popped up the floral cluster onto the card front using Foam Tape.

I created a card base of the 110 lb card stock measuring 5.5 x 4 1/4" and adhered the light blue panel using Tombow Mono Multi glue. The final touch was a scattering of Jade Crystals by Studio Katia, which I also adhered using the same liquid glue.

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

Penny Black All Lit Up + MFT Delightful Deer

Hi everyone, Amanda here today with a project I created using my favorite theme, nature and deer combined! Add in a little distress inking and WOW! So I started with an A2 sized panel. I cut a hill using Newton's Nook Designs Land Borders to create a mask for the bottom. I distress inked from center of my panel, working outward using a combination of yellows, greens and blues. I inked all the way down to the hill, then removed it to leave the white of the card appearing to be a snow hill. Now I take this GORGEOUS stamp, All Lit Up by Penny Black and stamp it using VersaFine Black Onyx ink. Using my MISTI, I was able to stamp it twice to get a nice dark impression. I then cut white acrylic paint 50/50 and tapped it on my night sky using a small paint brush. You'll notice on the image, there are little circles where you'd color in your lights or ornaments. I chose to use Nuvo Drops in gold and silver. While all that was drying, I cut out a deer from
