Eclipsed by Sequins

Hi Everyone!

It's Jenny here and I'm joining you today for a dark, masculine shaker card. I've love love loved the It's Just a Phase background stamp by Hero Arts for so long and had this idea for a card floating around in my brain for ages. I had to finally make it or I'd go mad! (You know what I'm talking about right? It's not just me).

To create the card, I used some 100lb navy cardstock and trimmed it down to create an A2 cardbase and also a panel which was slightly smaller than A2 (approx 4 1/8" x 5.25"). I diecut the MFT Stamps Star Shaker window from the panel. I also diecut the frame from the same set from another piece of Navy cardstock.

I treated the die cut panel with a powder tool and then used my MISTI to stamp the background stamp onto the panel using Versamark Ink. I then heat embossed the image using Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder (a gorgeous warm silvery colour). I also went around the edges of the panel with the Versamark and heat embossed with the Liquid Platinum to create a cool distressed edge look. I also dipped the star frame in Versamark and heat embossed twice, and adhered the frame over the window with liquid adhesive.

For the shaker, I added some acetate behind the panel and then created a holder for the sequins on the back with two layers of foam tape (which I also added all over the back of the panel). I added a sprinkling of Galaxy sequins by Honey Bee Stamps and then backed the window with some grey-silver glitter paper. I then adhered the entire panel to the card base.

The sentiment was heat embossed in the same embossing powder and added with foam tape. I wanted to keep this all pretty similar in colour to keep the masculine look - also a great way to use a full sheet of one cardstock color ;)

That's it! I hope you liked it - this is a really versatile design you can do with any color card base and any color shaker contents, changing up up the shaker window too - (MFT also does a few other shapes that BRI carries).

As always, I LOVE to hear your comments, thanks for visiting!

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

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
