A Mixed Media (lite!) Layout

Image
By
Hello there!
Samantha here! I'm so excited to share my latest layout with you!

I have to admit, this one is definitely more mixed media, than not...but it's still what I like to classify as 'mixed media-lite!' Ha! :)

Of course, I used a ton of prodcuts from the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop - duh! :)


I started with a 12x12 piece of white cardstock. Then I used lots of papers from the 6x6 Journey paper pad! I used it to matte my photo, and also to add strips under part of the title. I also used lots of those acetate triangles from Pinkfresh Studio - they come out with the BEST new products!!


I added some of the cloud and heart piffy stickers from the October Afternoon Summertime collection! Love puffy stickers!! The 'mountain' word of the title actually started out as white Thickers, but I used my grey copic markers to make them grey stripes! So fun, right?! Under the title, I also stamped the date in my FAVORITE roller date stamp (which just HAPPENS to be on sale!).


Then I used my Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink as watercolor and added it all around the layout! Because...watercolor! Ha!


I love this photo! It was taken one Saturday morning when my little Menn went to 'wake Daddy!' Ha ha! So cute!

Thanks again for hanging with me on a Saturday! :)
Enjoy and now SHOP! :)

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
