Artsy Hello with Audrey!

Image
By

Hello there!  Audrey here!  Today I have a card inspired by the BRI September Mood Board.  Holy cow, this collage is so stunning!  I just adore this unlikely color combination. It completely inspired me to create a fun, artsy card!



I did some watercoloring using Distress Inks.  I started off with a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper.  I tapped my distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Broken China and Hickory Smoke onto an acrylic block.  I taped my paper down to a clipboard, and then wet the entire piece with clean, clear water.  I took a wet brush to my distress inks and put them to the paper in several layers, drying the layers with a heat tool before applying another layer.  Then I tapped the paint brush loaded with Hickory Smoke ink and water to give me some subtle grey splatters.  When it was dry, I diecut the panel with the Avery Elle Wonky Stitches die set. and then trimmed the panel a bit further so that the stitched were along the very edge of the panel.  I stamped, colored and diecut the flowers and leaves from the WPlus9 Doodle Buds stamp set and coordinating dies.  This is one of my very favorite stamp sets from WPlus9.  I used shades of grey Copic Markers in the T, W and C color families to color in my flowers.  I adhered them to the watercolor panel with foam tape, stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set, and added some grey sequins by Avery Elle.  I popped the entire panel up on an A2 card base that I had covered with the Lawn Fawn Let's Polka in the Dark 6x6 petite paper pack.

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
