An Egg-stra Special Card by Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with a sweet oval shaped Easter card for you!

Today I am using the adorable Taylored Expressions Eggstra Sweet stamp set.
I immediately fell in love with the cute images as soon as I saw them!!

The base panels were made with an Oval die set. I die cut layers from teal and white Card Stock, as well as one layer from Doodlebug pink polka dot pattern paper.

Next, I stamped the Easter chick and egg from the set onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and did some Copic coloring.

Copics used:
Red    R05, R46
Teal    BG13, BG49
Yellow    Y00, Y08, Y11, Y19
Pink    RV14, R32, R81, R83, R85

Before assembling the card I used my Misti to stamp a sentiment from the Mama Elephant Eggtastic Stamp Set. I curved the text so it would match the oval shape of the card.

I glued the background panels to a white card base also made with the oval die (by folding the card base in half first and cutting an oval shape except for the top part of the paper).

Then I adhered my images to create a sweet Easter egg nest for the chick. I added a few ‘straw’ pieces cut from yellow paper.

Finally, a few Honey Bee Crystal Clear Gem stickers were added for that extra ‘bling’.

And that finishes the card for today!
Thank you for being here and see you soon, Tina

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

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
