The Best Is Yet(i) To Come!

By

Hello crafty friends! 

It's Julia here and I am so excited to share my very first card here with you! I don't know about you, but here it's freezing cold, so I am in a wintery mood and after the year we've all had, I really do like to think that the best is yet(i) to come! So I hope you like this little wintery scene!

I started by die cutting all my pieces for the mechanism from the Magic Iris die set and the Snow Globe Add-On. After that, I stamped all of my images from the Yeti or Not and Winter Village stamp sets and colored them in using Copic Markers. Then, I ink blended a piece of bristol smooth cardstock with Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. I also used the same inks on the snow globe - I just left out the Black Soot! I also added lots of splatters of Liquid Stardust.

I cut down a piece of red cardstock and added it to an A2 sized card base, then added a 1/8" smaller piece of silver mirror cardstock and layered my ink blended panel, as well as a snowy hill on top. I assembled the Magic Iris and adhered it to the card using foam squares. I added the snow globe piece on top. For the decorations of my snow globe, I used the mountains from the Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On and I also added a snowy hill as well. I added those first and then layered the base die cuts from the snow globe die on top. 

I attached all my images using liquid glue. For my sentiment I die cut one of the Fancy Wavy Banner die out of red cardstock. I just love punny sentiments, so "The best is YETI to come" just cracks me up! I heat embossed it in white and attached it to the card. I added lots of little white snowflakes using the die that comes with the Snow Globe Add-On and also the Mini Snowflakes dies! 

To finish the card I added lots of Shimmer pen, Crystal Glaze and Stardust Stickles for extra sparkle!

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me today! I hope you have a wonderful week!

Julia

    Excellent card, Julia. The YouTube video is a great watch, if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

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

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

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
