Warm Winter Wishes


Hello there! It's Silvia here with you today sharing a new card made using a bunch of  Hello Bluebird products.


I'm so in love with this month's Butterfly Reflections Ink mood board and its color combination (pale blue, iced lavender, frosted pink and winter peach) and so I decided to play along with it this time.


I started making my card die cutting a 5 1/2"x 4 1/4" stitched rectangle from white cardstock and I colored it ink blending dried marigold, spun sugar and shaded lilac Distress Oxide inks. I splattered with water and some pure platinum Nuvo mousse loosened with a drop of water.


I stamped the two little penguins from "First Snow" stamp set, a bunch of trees from "Yeti or Not" stamp set and the mailbox and some letters from "Merry Mice" stamp set (all from Hello Bluebird) with Memento black ink, I colored them with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and I cut them out.
To build up my scene I also die cut two hill borders using Lawn Fawn "Stitched Hillside Borders" dies from white cardstock and I ink blended some tumbled glass Distress Oxide ink on top.
For the sentiment I used the "Warm Wishes" Words die from Hello Bluebird (I die cut two pieces and I glued them together for some extra thickness), I added just a bit of my background Distress Oxide colors on it, I covered it with moonstone Nuvo glitter paste and I glued it in the middle of my card.

Here are some close-ups.



You know, I'm not so good with pastel colors, but I really love how this card turned out  and I hope you'll like it too.


Thank you so much for sharing your time with me today and have a fabulous day.
Hugs, Silvia.

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
