Love Bugs

Today's card will be featuring Lawn Fawn products. I can't believe that I haven't really been using Lawn Fawn as much, knowing how adorable their critters are! I used Bugs and Kisses and Critters in the Jungle and decided to create a fun-filled scene so this is a pretty 'busy' card.


One of my favorite things to do is blend different Distress Inks to create backgrounds so I did the same for this card with Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Tumbled Glass, and Evergreen Bough. I stamped, colored and die-cut almost everything from the Bugs and Kisses set and the bird and grass from Critters in the Jungle. It took me a while to figure out what pieces to use for the card.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed in white. To create the top thin frame, I die cut an A2 size rectangle from a yellow patterned paper from this pad and then die cut a slightly smaller rectangle within it. I figured the thinner the frame, the bigger the scene! I attached an A2 size acetate sheet behind the yellow frame. The grass, bugs and heart were glued down on top of the acetate sheet. The jar was colored with Tumbled Glass and Evergreen Bough to match the background, and I separated the lid so it could look like the fireflies came out of it. I added them to the distress-colored piece using foam tape for dimension. I added thin foam tape behind the yellow frame, filled the card with a mix of sequins, stars, and beads and sealed with the top layer. The branch and bird were added to the right side of the card.


Hope you enjoyed today's card! Have a great week.

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
