"You're a reason to smile" Easel Card

Hi there, this is Joann from jlopezdesigns! I am super duper excited to be bringing you my first post for Butterfly Reflections, Ink DT! This is my first design team ever and I am truly grateful and honored to have made this awesome team!

With all that excitement put to aside, let me bring you my first project! I decided to make an easel card using a few items that Vanessa sent me. Now let me tell you when my package arrived it felt like Christmas, lol, I couldn't wait to see what goodies Vanessa sent! As soon as I opened my package and came across Fancy Pants Burlap & Bouquets Ephemera die cuts, let me tell you, I was in love! The colors and variety of the die cuts are just gorgeous, these are definitely a must have for your die cut collection!


I used some black card stock for my base and some white watercolor paint to add a little more dimension to the card. I added some Kool Tak Clear Foam (love this stuff, especially for adding dimension when the card base is black) behind all of my die cuts and added double behind a couple of flowers to raise them a bit higher!




Finally, I added some We R Memory Keepers enamel shapes and clear Wink of Stella to my flowers to finish of the card! I really enjoyed making this card and love the way it turned out! To purchase any or All of these awesome supplies, I've linked them all below!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to come back tomorrow to see what Chitra has in store for you!

Supplies:

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

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

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
