Pretty Pretty Pumpkins

Hey all,  Jacquie here today with a card that was inspired by a beautiful floral arrangement I saw while I was out shopping recently.


The floral arrangement was of some really lovely flowers, using a pumpkin as it's vase.  I have had this Sunny Studio Pretty Pumpkin set for awhile now and knew they were going to serve as my vase. 

I inked up the 3 layered pumpkins using the Warm and Cozy Mini Ink Cube set from Altenew.  I also inked up the pumpkin leaves using a few colors from the Tropical Forest Mini Ink Cube Set from Altenew.  If you have not tried Altenew inks before, you need to...they are totally my favorite for layering!


I used some small floral images from several different sets.  The small roses are from the new WPlus9 Rose Builder set and the other florals are from WPlus9 Summer Florals 2.  I used more layering inks from Altnew - Sea Shore Mini Inks,  Pocketful of Sunshine Mini Inks and the most fabulous pink set - Rose Petal Mini Ink.



I spent a little time figuring out my floral arrangement and then took a photo of it with my cell phone (so I could glue it down the way I liked it!)  I used my scoreboard to score some lines on bottom of the card - to give my pumpkins a base and to not look like they are floating on a white card.   Once I glued them down, using Scotch foam tape and Tombow mono adhesive, I stamped a greeting from Sunny Studios pretty companion set, Autumn Greetings.  I cut out my card with a Stitched Rectangle die and layered it on to some coordinating cardstock - and finished it off with some clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh.

Hope you enjoyed this combination of stamp sets and supplies...it was a lot of fun!!

Until next week...
Peace,
Jacquie

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
