Hope your day is sweet!

Happy Sunday! I'm sharing this fun watercolor card using inspiration from the April mood board. I pulled out my die sets and decided to make a card using only dies and watercolor! Thick white acrylic paint and fun sprinkles add a bit of realism to this card. Scroll down for a list of supplies and see how I created this card.

Supplies used:

Scripty words: sweet

I scream, you scream die

Stitched cloud frames die

Fancy scalloped rectangle stackables

Coaster critters

Studio Katia clay speckled sprinkles

Water color paper

Water colors - I used white nights water colors

Black cardstock

Pixie dust cardstock

Chocolate bar cardstock

Thick white acrylic paint

To start, I used a piece of water color paper and mixed purples, pinks, yellows and orange shades to create a background. After the panel was dry, white acrylic paint was mixed with water and splatted on the bottom half of the painted panel. Then the background was left to dry.

Images of the ice cream were cut from watercolor paper using the I scream, you scream die by Lawn Fawn. The ice cream tops were watercolored and left to dry. After the images were dry, I applied thick white acrylic paint to the tops of the ice cream and added sprinkles. These were then left to dry overnight. The acrylic paint takes a long time to dry when applying it this way, so make sure you give it plenty of time to dry.

The ice cream cones were cut from chocolate bar card stock and black card stock was used to cut the faces. Pink card stock used to cut the cheeks from the stitched cloud fames die. All the pieces were adhered using liquid glue to create the cute ice cream cones! The top sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed. The bottom sentiment was cut from white glitter cardstock and adhered using small strips of foam tape. The panel was then trimmed and adhered to the background which was cut from white cardstock using the fancy scallop rectangle stackables die. And that finishes the card!

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

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
