So Many Alpacas!

Hello, everyone! Today I bring you the biggest card ever made!!! Okay, not really. But the biggest card I've ever made! I had an idea in my head, and my card just got bigger and bigger! Here we go!






Can you tell I love this alpaca? I've had this idea for some time and I finally did it! I started by stamping out sooo many alpacas from the Winter Alpaca stamp set from Lawn Fawn using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with my Copics. While I had my ink out I stamped the sentiment from the set onto watercolor cardstock and die cut it using a Stitched Circle die. I used the coordinating Lawn Cuts to die cut each of my little alpacas.

Then I got to work on my background. I used three colors of Distress Ink ( Crushed Olive, Twisted Citron, and Cracked Pistachio ) and ink blended them onto a piece of 5 x 5 inch watercolor cardstock. I spritzed the whole thing with a mixture of water and Perfect Pearls to give it some shimmer and shine. I used an embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers, but you could use anything to add detail to the background. I put my sentiment circle in the middle with foam squares and adhered my alpacas with liquid glue.






I used the clear Spectrum Noir Shimmer Pen to add glitter to the circle in the center and to each of the scarves. I used fun foam that was a quarter inch thick to adhere the piece onto a 6 x 6 inch card base. I'm seriously in love and I'm considering doing this card in a bunch of different colors!

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to visit the shop for all of your crafty needs! See you next time!

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...

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 wate...

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...
