Mermaid Birthday with Leontine

 

Hello! I’m back with my second card for this blog. I was inspired by the current mood board challenge, so I used lots of teal, fuchsia, linen and a hint of coral. These sea creatures are having a lovely underwater birthday party with the mermaids. This is how I made it:

I cut two panels of Lawn Fawn white cardstock with the outside in stitched rectangle stackables. On one of them I used the stitched hillside borders. I used the ray of light stencil from MFT to create a nice effect on the background with distress oxides. I started with speckled egg and put peacock feathers on top. For the sand I used antique linen and brushed corduroy. I splattered some brushed corduroy on top for some extra interest.

While that was drying I stamped the images on copic friendly paper with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and I colored them with copic sketch markers: 0, E000, E00, E11, E21, E40, E41, E42, E43, Y21, Y23, Y26, G000, G00, G02, RV000, RV00, RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09, R20, R30, R32, R35, BG000, BG01, BG02, BG05, BG09, BG10, BG11, BG13, BG15, BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78.
I used stamps from mermaid for you, you are sublime, ocean shell-fie and really high five.

With my white gel pen, white posca pen, black gelly roll and black glaze pen I added some accents on my images, such as eyelashes and reflections.

I used an anti-static pouch, Lawn Fawn clear ink and some black embossing powder (this color would work) to heat emboss the sentiment onto the sand.
After that it was time to adhere all of my images. I used thin foam squares, glue dots and liquid glue, to alternate between the height of each image.

To decorate the card even more I added a few bubbles. An embellishment wand really comes in handy to glue those bubbles in place with some liquid glue.

To create a colorful border around the background I cut a piece of tropical shimmer cardstock with the large stitched rectanglestackables. I glued my panel on top and adhered the whole thing to a card base and that finished my card.

I really hope you like it and if you’re interested you can watch my tutorial right here. Have a lovely week! 

Big hugs,

Leontine

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

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
