Black and White Plus Gold

Hello, Lisa here today with a layout to share.  I am always creating layouts with lots of colors, and most often than not, lots of bright colors.  So today I challenged myself to create a layout using only three colors: black, white, and gold.  The first thing I thought of was the MME Record It! Charmed Collection, and how perfect this collection would be for my personal challenge.


Supplies:
MME Record It! Charmed 6 x 6 paper pad
Charmed Enamel Dots
Avery Elle Simply Tags Christmas Stamp Set
VersaMark
Ranger Perfect Pearls Gold
Studio Calico Printshop Fabric Bow
Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm Black Thickers

Some techniques I used:
1. To create my gold "dots" I stamped the small circles with versamark onto the cardstock and painted the perfect pearls gold over top of them.


2. When creating a 12 x 12 layout and you only have a 6 x 6 paper pad to work with you can always two sheets of the same design side by side and cover where they meet.
 
3. Create movement on your layout by placing embellishments diagonally.



Make sure you check out the amazing deals in the store right now including the 40% and 20% off sections, as well as all of the new goodies that are starting to pour in!
Happy Crafting!
Lisa

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
