A Sweet Spooktacular Day!

It's Friday, it's Friday! How many of you do the happy dance for the weekend like me!?!?

Candice with you today and I have a super sweet pastel Halloween scene for you using my favorite haunted houses from Lawn Fawn!

All the products I used from Butterfly Reflections, Ink are:

Lawn Fawn Spooky Village stamp set
Lawn Fawn Spooky Village coordinating dies
Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome! stamp set (speech bubbles)
Sunny Studio Woodland Borders dies (stitched hills)
Lawn Fawn jet black ink
white embossing powder
oxide inks: milled lavender & shaded lilac
copic markers

I began my card by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 base which fits perfectly into the size 9A envelopes.

To create the background, I inked the sky with shaded lilac & milled lavender and layered hills & grass die cut from thick white cardstock.

Next, I stamped all the adorable images from Spooky Village & Oh Gnome!, colored with copic markers, and then die cut out using the coordinating dies. I layered them along the hills and grass, pop dotting some for dimension.

I love that middle spooky house next to the normal houses. I remember as a kid trick or treating, that one spooky house along my trick or treating route that always scared me!

To finish my card, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed in white, pop dotting it along the bottom. For my embellishments, I went simple with purple domes.

I hope I have inspired you to use a non traditional color palette for your next holiday card!

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

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
