Jungle Friends - July Mood Board

Hi friends! Tammy here with a fun slimline card, featuring the newest release from Pretty Pink Posh. I let the fiery colors from the July Mood board be the inspiration for this card.

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using the Trinity Stamps Slimline Card Series: Stitched Card Panels and Windows. I then ink blended the background, starting from the top, with Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks. I then placed the leaf stencil from the Layered Leaves & Flower Stencils over my inked background and sponged the same ink colors to add a bit of texture and interest. Next, I added some water droplets and black acrylic paint splatters, and set aside to dry. I then die cut a white window frame, using the Stitched card Panels and Windows again, and attached to the inked background at a slight angle using foam tape.

Next, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut the following sets:

Monkey Friends/ Coordinating Dies

Jungle Friends/ Coordinating Dies

Jungle Additions/ Coordinating Dies

Tropical Toucans/ Coordinating Dies

Simple Sentiments

Simple Strips Dies

I arranged the colored images onto my card and attached with foam tape for dimension. Next, I cut a piece of black cardstock using the Simple Strips Dies, stamped the sentiments from the Simple Sentiments Stamp set, and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I snipped the sentiments to make smaller strips and attached to the card. To complete my card, I attached the finished card front to a 3 1/2 X 8 1/2" white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends...have a wonderful 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

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
