Squirrel!!! MFT Wild Woodland Birthday card

Hi again!  It’s Jacquie, back with another fun project for Butterfly Reflections Ink!  
Today’s card is a fun scene card I made.  When I saw this adorable Wild Woodland set from My Favorite Things, I knew I had to have it.

The first thing I did was stamp the squirrel and the acorn multiple times using Altenew Permanent Black Crisp Ink.  In the end, I think I stamped up 30 acorns, but did not use all of them. I chose fun, non-traditional colors for my acorns.  I wanted my squirrel to be carrying a pile of them! I colored them using Copic markers and cut them all out.
For my background I colored a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper using Distress Inks - Mowed lawn and Peacock Feathers. (PSST!!! These colors are on SALE!)  
After the background was dry, I die cut the piece using the Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Elements Die.  I then stamped the greeting with Versamark and heat embossed with Altenew Pure White Crisp embossing powder.


I added the squirrel and then carefully placed all the acorns in a pile.  I probably arranged them 5 or 6 times until I got them the way I wanted them.
After I glued everything down using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue, and Scotch foam tape, I added some details using a Gelly Roll white pen and of course some sparkle with the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens.



That’s it for today, hope this card makes you smile!
Peace,
Jacquie

  1. That is soooo cute. And I love the symbolism...juggling so many things in life that I seem to miss events like birthdays. I didn't send my brother a card because time just got away.

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
