Make a Wish

Hello everyone and happy Friday! It's Ashley today with a birthday card using some super cute stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird! It was my first time using products from Hello Bluebird, and let me just say - I am in LOVE! Look how sweet these little cows are!



I started by blending some Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose onto a piece of white cardstock, then splattered it with water and watered down acrylic paint in white and gold. I blasted it with my heat gun so I didn't have to wait for it to dry, then used the largest rectangle in the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangles to cut out the panel. I cut the Hello Bluebird Make a Wish die twice from white cardstock and once from metallic gold cardstock and glued them together with the Zig 2-Way Glue Pen - be careful not to lose the dot! :)



I stamped all the cows from the Hello Bluebird Farmyard Little Bits stamp set onto some bristol smooth paper with black hybrid ink. I then colored them using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I decided to try blending them with the blender pen instead of a water brush - this was so simple and will make traveling with these markers even easier! I used the matching Farmyard Little Bits dies to cut out my colored images. I also decided to cut a few out of foam to add some dimension using Davina's method to help prevent smooshing in the mail. After deciding how to arrange the cows and sentiments and attaching everything, I added a few gems in Pink Blush from Pretty Pink Posh for a bit of extra shine and mounted my panel onto Lawn Fawn Apricot cardstock.



Thanks so much for checking out my card! Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!

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
