How You Bean? Valentine

Hi everyone! With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I've been having fun creating love themed cards. Today, I'm sharing a sweet Valentine's card using all Lawn Fawn. I just love mixing sets to create fun and whimsical scenes, so I had so much fun with this one!





To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2" for my background. I ink blended it with Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink Pads. I splattered some clean water and some loosened Worn Lipstick with a paintbrush, and set aside to dry.

Next, I cut some white cardstock using the Foursquare Backdrop Die. Using foam tape , I attached the backdrop to my ink blended background, then adhered that to an A2 card base.


I then stamped all the images using black Memento ink from the following sets:

How You Bean? Stamp Set (jar and lid)/ Dies
How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On (conversation hearts, sentiment)/ Dies
Love Poems Stamp Set (mouse with sign)/ Dies
You're Just My Type Stamp Set (sitting mouse, Love You sentiment)/ Dies
Llama Tell You Stamp Set (speech bubble)/ Dies

All images were then colored with Copic markers.
Mice: W0, W1, W2, W4, R20, R00
Jar: B000, N0, N2, N4, N6
Hearts: G000, G00, G02(green heart), Y00, Y02, Y13(yellow heart), B000, B00, B02(blue heart), RV10, RV13, RV21(pink heart), YR000, YR00, YR02(orange heart)

I added white highlights to my colored images with a white gel pen, and cut put with the coordinating dies.



Next, I arranged my colored images onto my card, and attached with 3D foam squares for dimension.

Finally, to complete my card, I stamped the sentiment from the How You Bean? Conversation Heart add-on onto a strip of Black Licorice cardstock with an Embossing Ink Pad and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends! Have a great day!

XO, 
Tammy

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

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

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
