Hocus Pocus

 


Hi Friends!  I've got a super fun mood board inspired Halloween card.  I concentraed the colors around the cauldron to create a fun and eerie scene!  


To start, I cut an A2 piece of white cardstock using the largest die from the large cross-stitched rectangle stackables die.  Next, I pulled out my distress inks in the following colors: weathered wood, twisted citron, salty ocean, blueprint sketch and wilted violet (I used the inks not oxides but I'm linking the oxides- either would work fine).  Using the hillside stencil, I ink blended a wavy background in an upside down triangular pattern to resemble smoke.  The background was then splatted with liquid stardust.  Stars were stamped in black ink using the tiny stars included in spooktacular stamp set.


To create the cauldron, I used I scream, you scream set.  The base of the cauldron was cut using the ice cream cone (upside down) and cut from glossy black cardstock.  Cilantro cardstock cut using the same die (the drippy ice cream die that's included and the upside down ice cream) and I lightly ink blended it using mowed lawn distress oxide ink.  The legs are ice cream sticks cut using glossy black cardstock and stuck to the back of the cauldron.  The cauldron was adhered with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the cat image and fish bones from the Meow you doin stamp set using versafiine clair ink in nocturne.  The witch's hat is from spooktacular.  The images were colored using zig clean color bush markers 090 and 035.  All the images were cut using the coordinating dies.  

Next, I die cut the letters from Oliver's stitched ABC's from black sparkle cardstock.  The letters were stacked three times to create dimension.  

Lastly, after all the pieces were glued together and mounted to card, I added some iridescent bubbles.  The entire card was mounted to an A2 white card base, and that completes the card!


Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope you all join in for the mood board challenge this month!  Be sure to tag #BRImoodboard on instagram so we can see your amazing creations!

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
