Love your kind heart, featuring Honey Bee stamps

By
Hello Butterfly Reflections Ink friends!  It's Jung here with you today with a rainbow butterfly card, perfect for happy mail!  Also, TGIF!!!  We could really use rainbows and sunshine this weekend here in Texas.

I've had the Honey Bee Simple Sentiments: thanks stamp set for quite a while.  I was saving this stamp set for when I needed a thank you card, but I decided to get the stamp set out to see if I could create a card without the thank you sentiment.  This stamp sent has lots of individual words you can put together to create many different sentiments!  I chose to make a "love your kind heart" card.  Just like Vanessa, I love butterflies, so I used the butterfly image to create a rainbow card.



To make my card:

1. I repeatedly stamped the butterfly from the Honey Bee stamp set using Lawn Fawn jet black ink on a piece of white cardstock.  

2. I cut of the stamped cardstock using a stitched rectangle die.

3. I colored the butterflies using copic markers.  I only used 2 markers for each butterfly.

4. I colored in the diamond on each wing of the butterflies with finetec watercolor in gold pearl.  I also splattered some of the gold watercolor on the card.  I set it aside to dry.

5. I decided to work on the card base.  I made my own top folding A2 sized card base out of white cardstock.  I taped off the back part of the card base.

6. I created the rainbow ink blended card base with my Tim Holtz ink blending tool, and my beloved distress inks.  I used abandoned coral, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, mowed lawn, mermaid lagoon, dusty concord, seedless preserves, and picked raspberry.

7. I adhered the stamped/colored cardstock to my rainbow card base using fun foam.

8. I used 4 words from the stamp set to create my "love your kind heart" sentiment.  I stamped it on black cardstock with Versamark ink.  I heat set it with white embossing powder.

9. I cut out the sentiment strip and adhered it to my card using foam tape.

10. I added a few Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins to finish off my card.



I hope you like my card!  I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I'm so glad I discovered how versatile this stamp set really is.  I can't wait to send out this fun little card to a crafty friend!

Happy Friday y'all!

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...

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 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...
