Reel-y Great Father's Day

Hello everyone! It's Ashley with a super fun interactive card for Father's Day! This card features the Fishin' Hole set from Hello Bluebird and is perfect for those fishermen in your life! I created a cute lake scene for my father-in-law, but with a hidden surprise!

When you pull the tab, a fish jumps out from behind the big group of cattails!

I stamped the images from Hello Bluebird Fishin' Hole with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with my Copics before cutting them out with the matching dies. I then went to work creating the background scene. I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink on the top third of my white cardstock and Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Blueprint Sketch on the bottom two-thirds. I cut the bushes out of two colors of green cardstock using the Hello Bluebird Pond Builder dies and created the edge of the lake with the Lawn Fawn Hillside Borders. I used Distress Ink in Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn to add some interest to the bushes. I adhered the fish, then covered the water with a piece of vellum to make the fish look like they were under the surface. I die cut the whole panel with the largest of the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables.

To make the jumping fish, I used the Lawn Fawn Let's Toast Add On. I just trimmed the piece the toast would go on to fit the fish. I stamped the pull tab piece with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn Push Here. I adhered the fisherman to the card and cut a small slit in the vellum for the hook to go through so it also looked underwater. I used the cattail dies in the Hello Bluebird Pond Builder set to make bunches of cattails and popped a few up with foam tape.

I mounted the card on a piece of woodgrain paper from the Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood pad. I stamped the sentiment on a matching strip of paper with Versamark and embossed with white powder. I adhered the largest bunch of cattails to the back of this strip and used a double layer of foam tape to pop it up and give plenty of room for the fish to move behind it.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

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

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
