Just Sitting Here...

Hi all, it's Heather here with you today to share a fun card I created using some new goodies. I was so super thrilled to see this adorable Treehouse Scene die set from Hello Bluebird!! I knew I'd HAVE to have it and we can always count on Vanessa to have the latest and greatest of all things Hello Bluebird in the Shop!!! Here is a look at my card:

I started this baby off by die cutting out 4 of the trees. 1 of them was cut out of Bristol Smooth paper and the other 3 were cut out of 80lb white cardstock. I gave the edges of the 3 white tree trunks a bit of ink using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blender Brush then inked up the entire tree that was cut out of the Bristol Paper using the same:

Next I went to work stamping and Copic coloring the images from the Hello Bluebird First Snow Stamp Set

I wanted to use this month's #brimoodboard for inspiration!!!! I know this is a wintery stamp set, but I wanted to create a fall scene so badly - and this Mood Board is just AMAZING!!!

I fussy cut the images out and colored the treehouse accents using the same Copic markers that I used on the critters' scarves. I glued the cardstock treehouses together using the Lawn Fawn Glue Pen. Next I inked up a scrap of Bristol paper with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and placed that piece between the cardstock treehouses and the Bristol treehouse and finally glued them all together.

I finished the card off with a sentiment from the Hello Bluebird Field Mice Stamp Set and some accents using a white pen.

Thanks for checking out my card. I hope it inspired you and I hope you have a chance to play along with the Mood Board as well!!

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...

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 wate...

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...
