You Make Me Smile

By
Hello everyone! It's Ashley with a sweet card inspired by this month's mood board! I just love this color palette! It reminds me of fruity sherbet - yum!


I started by making a Distress Oxide blended background with the featured colors. I used Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose, Mustard Seed, and Cracked Pistachio. It ended up a bit more intense than I was hoping for, so I softened it by adding a piece of vellum die cut with Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Stackables on top. 


I grabbed several Hello Bluebird sets and stamped the images I wanted in my favorite black ink, Lawn Fawn Jet Black. I used the amazing flowers in Fairy Garden, some critters from Garden Friends, and the adorable mice are from the new Field Mice set. I colored them in with my Copics, mostly with colors as close as I could get to the mood board color palette, and added a few white gel pen highlights. 


I finished the card with a sentiment from Hello Bluebird Rainbow Script stamped with black StazOn. I added gems from Pretty Pink Posh in Pink Blush, Buttercream, and Aquamarine with the Lawn Fawn Glue Tube. I seriously love this glue for adhering little bits - the tiny applicator is awesome!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card and maybe give the mood board a try! Have a wonderful day!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

By
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....

By
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!
