Time for Pumpkin Spice!

Hi Everyone! I'm here with another fall themed card.

My favorite thing about fall is the colors and I used a variety of reds, pinks, oranges and yellows to create this card. I love the bright colors mixed with the white background and black lettering! This card also uses stamps and dies from several different companies. I like to make the most out of my supplies and mix and match stamps and dies.

To start, I created a background by cutting watercolor paper with the Lawn Fawn Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables die. Then using the Just Stitching Double Rectangles die I added a border. After masking off the edges with purple tape, I used Versamark clear ink and stamped the images from Pretty Pink Posh's Fall Borders stamp set. Then I used black, yes BLACK embossing powder to emboss the images. As long as you use enough powder, you should be fine!

Sentiment was stamped using the Autumn Script by Hello Bluebird.

The images and border of the card were colored using a waterbrush and Tombow ABT markers in the following colors: 993, 933, 925, 845, 847, 665, 803 and 055. The pumpkins were then splatted with some color from the pens.

Lastly, the card panel was foam mounted to an A2 card base. Hope you like this card! I'm excited to share with you again next week. Until then, have a wonderful rest of your week!

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
