Cheers to the New Year!

Happy Monday crafty friends, Ashley D. here! So excited to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink Blog today. Christmas may be over, but we’re gearing up for one more celebration tomorrow night - welcome 2020! I’m sure you’ve all checked out the December BRI Mood Board, and again I’m called to all things shiny and PINK. Those beautiful blush pink ornaments reminded me of the perfect New Year’s accompaniment - BUBBLES! And New Year’s most definitely wouldn’t be complete without the bubbly.

So, I created this fun, yet simple card inspired by a bottle of sparkling Rosé. For the background I used a piece of white pearlescent cardstock brushed with a bit of Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink, then die cut with the new Lawn Fawn Snowfall Portrait Backdrop die. I turned it upside down to give the effect of rising bubbles like in a glass of Champagne. I backed the open holes with pink glitter cardstock from the Lawn Fawn Sparkle Cardstock Spring pack. I LOVE these papers – easy to cut and they don’t shed glitter everywhere!

I then framed it with a border made from the same white pearlescent cardstock cut with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Stackables (Large & Small). You can also use the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Frame.

I topped the backdrop with the year 2020 cut from gold pearlescent cardstock using a Silhouette Cameo (you could also use large thin metal number dies too). For depth, I adhered them with foam tape, and then layered two toasting vellum (pink and white) Champagne flutes using My Favorite Things Layered Champagne Glass Die-namics.

For the sentiment, I cut two ‘Cheers,’ one in white pearlescent cardstock, topped with a second in pink glitter cardstock, using the My Favorite Things Mondo Cheers Die-namics. And for one final bit of sparkle, I added a few pink glitter starbursts made from the two smallest Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes dies. Cheers and Happy New Year everyone! May your 2020 be filled with many blessings and lots of crafty fun!

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

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
