You're SPEC-tacular!

Welcome back friends! Kari with you once more to share this card featuring a new set from The Greeting Farm called You're Spectacular! This set makes me happy as I, myself am a glasses wearer and what is so fun about this set is that there is different styles of glasses.

So, I took advantage of this, and used three of the different styles of glasses and created a background with it. I first prepped my white card panel with my powder tool and I wanted to emboss these images with white embossing powder. I randomly stamped out the glasses all over the panel, and then coated them with the embossing powder, and then used my heat tool to set the powder. Then, I chose three colors of Distress Oxide inks to do the emboss resist technique. I used Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet. I absolutely love these colors together!! So YUMMY!! And, these inks blend so effortlessly!

Once I was completely done with the inking, I used my Distress Sprayer water bottle and spritzed some water for a more "distressed" look. I set that panel aside and worked on my main image of the cute girl. I stamped her onto a piece of scrap white card stock with my Jet Black ink from Lawn Fawn and used my Copic Markers to color her in. For her skin, I used E11 and E33. For her hair, I used E09 and E39, and for her dress and boots, I used FB2, V17, YG21 and YG05. Then, I used the coordinating die to cut her out. For the sentiment, I stamped it onto a piece of white card stock and die cut it with the Mini Scallop Rectangle Dies from MFT.

I added some foam tape to both my girl image and the sentiment strip, and added them both to my card panel. Then, I added that whole piece to an A2 Black card base. For a final touch, I added some glossy accents to her glasses to give it some shine and to make them look more realistic.

I love how fun and vibrant this card is, and I hope it makes YOU feel SPEC-tacular too!! Have a great week!! Next week will be my final DT post to share with all of you! I can't believe the 4 month term went so fast! With that said, the Design Team Call is currently open and you have until Aug. 27th to get your application in!! This is a great team to be apart of and I encourage all of you that are interested to apply!!

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

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
