Happy Hedgehogs!

Hello everybody, this is Nicky with you again with a new card to share using Happy Hedgehogs by MFT and the Polka Stencil by Neat and Tangled.



My card base is constructed of Kraft card stock and a panel of white card stock was stencilled using the Polka Stencil by Neat and Tangled.  I moved the stencil around and using my favorite Clarity Stencil Brushes and Distress Ink I created a layered affect but kept it very delicate.  I then die cut the two edges using a Memory Box border die that I don't see in the shop right now but you could use all number of edging dies found here.   I liked this one because it was a little 'spiky'!



I wrapped twine around the card panel several times and then adhered the panel to the base making a sandwich with craft foam for a substantial feel.  I then stamped all my Happy Hedgehog components with Archival Ink and watercolour painted everything using a variety of the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.



These pieces were adhered to the card panel forming the scene using dimensional foam tape.   The sentiment was stamped onto a Kraft card stock tag and applied.  I finished off with a smattering of toning sequins and I used a Uni-Ball Signo White Pen to highlight several areas on the hedgehogs and mushrooms.



I hope you enjoyed my card today and perhaps it has inspired you to create this week.  I will be back with another card next Tuesday, meanwhile you can follow me on Instagram #nickynoocards, Pinterest and Facebook for more of my projects.

Have a wonderful week,
Nicky

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

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

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
