Magical Elf Holiday!

Are you almost ready for the Christmas holiday?! Candice with you today with some little elves that are getting things ready for Santa on his big night!

I used lots of different companies products all found in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink shop:

Mama Elephant Little Elf Agenda stamps & coordinating dies
Mama Elephant Scripty Xmas stamps
My Favorite Things Die-namics Stitched Alphabets
Oxide Inks- shabby shutters & bundled sage
Lawn Fawn Jet black ink
Copic Markers

I began my card with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base that fits nicely into a standard size or 9A envelope.

For the background, I first heat embossed the sentiment in black and then inked around it in shabby shutters & bundled sage oxide inks. I then splattered with a damp paint brush with white, black, red and green shimmer sprays.

Next, I die cut mutiples of the Ho Ho Ho's layering them with the top one being red glitter. I stamped the elves using the Lawn Fawn jet black ink, colored with copic markers, and cut out with the coordinating dies.

For the final touch, I added some peppermint sequins and filled in the bells and star with a gold pen.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and if you want to get some last minute gifts, you should check out the sale of 40-60% off here!

Thank you for stopping by today!

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
