Colorful Holiday Scene

Image
By

 Hey there, crafty friends!  Are you getting all of your holiday cards done!?  It's Amanda here with this colorful holiday card!

I love using non-traditional colors on holiday cards!  I feel like it keeps things interesting!  




To create this bright and happy card, I started with Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillside Die.


For my background, I blended Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxides.


I made some houses using Catherine Pooler's Alpine Village Stamp Set.  I used Catherine Pooler inks and Memento inks to stamp the images.


To create snow, I used Simon Says Stamp's Falling Snow Stamp and Wow!  Embossing Powder.


I stamped my little critters from the Waffle Flower Pumpkin House Stamp Set.  I colored them with Copic markers.



For my sentiments, I used Heffy Doodle Whatcha Sayin' and Whatcha Saying Now Stamp Sets.


I put everything together using 3D foam squares and strips!  I love how bright and colorful it turned out!


Thank you so much for stopping by the blog to see this post!
Xoxo, Amanda

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

By
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

There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN!

Painting backwards....

By
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
