_______________________________________

Hi, my name is Lysa and I am SO excited to be guest designing for Butterfly Reflections, Ink. this month! I live in Sunny Arizona, and I'm a married stay-at-home-mama to my super energetic 4 year old son, and a sweet 1 year old daughter. I'm a card-maker the majority of the time, but I do dabble in scrapbooking for my kids' albums. I love to be crafty, from DIY projects around the house, gardening (did someone say succulents?), to baking- I enjoy anything that involves somethinghandmade or homemade! You can find my blog at Lysa Q Rohrer Designs, or I"m also on Instagram- @lysaqr.

Since it's still SUMMER here in Arizona for *at least* another month or 2, I used the darling Little Mermaids from The Greeting Farm! Nothing says summer like mermaids, right?

To make my card, I die cut a circle and blended Distress Inks (Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Tea Dye & a touch of Ground Espresso) to create my underwater scene. I stamped the mermaid and accessories in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers, fussy cut them and traced the outside edge in black for a nice clean look. I played around with the arrangement a bit to set my scene- and adhered the mermaid along with the seaweed, sandcastle & a fish with foam tape for more dimension. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed it using white embossing powder. Finally, I added the circle scene to my card base (that I embossed using the We R Memory Keepers Polka Dot embossing folder) using some craft foam, and finished it off by adding some sparkle using a clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen!

I hope you liked my card and it gives you a bit of crafty inspiration to start off your week!

Hugsxx

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

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
