Are you ready for Spring?


Hello Everyone! Are you ready for Spring?

Its been warm last week. We were all getting ready to say hi to Spring. Then winter decided to come back and it came back hard. We had lots of raining and snowing. I made this card to express how much I miss the spring. How's the weather where you live?

I grabbed a piece of Tim Holtz Distress watercolor paper and wet the whole background with water. I used a flat brush and lightly applied Gansai Tambi watercolor paint in Aqua onto the whole background. Then I made some more concentrated paint to smudge onto the background using a piece of acetate paper. Splattered the same paint after air dry the background. I cut the background using Pretty Pink Posh Storybook 5 die. For the bigger window background cut out, I used Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hillside Border die to create a hill. I stamped the sentiment "Spring is Here" using Memento ink in Tuxedo Black.

To create the shaker window, I first adhered a piece of acetate paper behind the windows, then I added Foam tape to raise up the windows. I poured some Pretty Pink Posh Springtime Sequins Mix and adhered foam tape to close up the windows.



Now let us talk about decorating this card. I have all images colored with Copic Markers and adhered onto the card front using Multi medium Matte and Foam tape. Most of images are from Pretty Pink Posh Easter Friends Stamp set and some of flowers and foliage are from Pretty Pink Posh Bunny Friends Stamp set. At last, I added some Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins to create some spring rain droplets.


Until next Tuesday, Happy Cardmaking!

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

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
