Just For Kicks Layout

By
Hello and happy weekend!!
Samantha here with you today, and I'm sharing a fun little mixed media layout with you!


I started by adding some gesso to my white cardstock. Once that was dry, I used some embossing paste with a triangle stencil to create more texture.
Then, once that was dry (lots of drying time! Ha!), I added some watercolor on top of the mixed media-y area! I combined the Distress Ink colors Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio and made a nice old mess! lol!


I added layers to my photo by using scraps of various 6x6 paper pads that I had! Am I the only one who keeps all their scraps? Ha! Tell me it isn't so!


I did some light embellishing, too! I used the chipboard stars from the Shimelle Starshine collection, the puffy cloud outline from AWESOME Fancy Free puffy stickers, and some word phrases from Cosmo Cricket!


I even added a hidden photo on a tag behind the photo! That was fun!! I knew I wanted to keep that photo forever, but it was taken with my phone, and super blurry, so it was terrible quality. A little hiding was the perfect answer!

So that's my layout!
My littlest Mann was 3 years old there,and just LOVED soccer...as long as his older brother could run on the field and hold his hand the whole time! Ha! Instant heart melting! :)

Be sure to stock up on everything you need, there's TONS of new things being added to the shop!
Thanks again!

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

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
