Waving Hello Shaker card

Happy Saturday!

Alix here showing you an adorable card I made for today. I feel great to be back as a blog guest. I hope you will have great time with me as I going through a few steps to make this card.



I started off Copic coloring all stamped images from  Pretty Pink Posh Birdie Sea Friends Stamp set. Once they are colored and you could use coordinating dies to cut them out or hand fussy cut like I did. To create the background, I used 1.5 wide watercolor brush applying two shades of watercolor paints in blue onto a piece of Tim Holtz Distress watercolor paper.


To create the shaker window, I cut the panel using Lawn Fawn Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Die out of a piece of Woodgrain Cardstock paper.  then I used Lawn Fawn Large stitched Rectangle Die to cut the inner window.  I glued a piece of acetate paper underneath. Before I close up the window, I poured some Pretty Pink Posh 3mm Sparkling clear sequins and Jewels in Aquamarine onto the background. I attached the window using foam tape onto background panel.


Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Mermaid for you stamp set  on  a piece of black cardstock paper and embossed with white embossing powder. I arranged the rest of images around shaker window along with some Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Clear Droplets, then adhered the whole background panel onto a A2 card base.

Thanks for being here hanging out with me. I hope to see you soon!

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
