BRI Moodboard inspiration with Davina

Hello crafty friends! Davina here on the blog, with a super sweet filled card using Mama Elephants stamps and dies and the wonderful January BRI Moodboard colors.

I know this card could easily be a sweet filled valentine or friendship card, but I needed a birthday card and it works perfectly. Not being a cake lover myself, I often want different delights when it is my turn to celebrate. And all everything on this card looks yummy enough to eat!

I have so many incredible Mama Elephant stamp sets that I haven’t used yet so I felt it was time to pop them open and get coloring. The images in the newer Milkshake Stamp Set are so cute and large, that I didn’t need to combine them with any other sets to create a full scene. I stamped all of the images using the Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf Ink for a nice light brown outline. I color everything in shades of Pink, mint, navy blue, and rosy tan earth color to represent the rose gold.

I use the coordinating die cuts to cut out my images then highlighted them with small white dots. I used the framed Waverly die set from Mama Elephant to cut the pink scalloped frame, then I cut a smaller panel from white Bristol Smooth Cardstock that fit inside the stitched area. I inked that panel with Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink and splattered with glittery Perfect Pearl, white ink, and Rose Gold Watercolor.

I mounted the inkblended layer onto some glittery cardstock, then assembled all of my images onto the scene. Then I mounted the layers onto the scallop frame. I used some beautiful mint cardstock to make my cardbase and centered the scallop scene onto the mint card. I searched for a small little sentiment to place in the center area, and eventually fount the perfect sized one in my Lawn Fawn stash. I stamped the speech bubble and sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Love Letters stamp set using crunchy leaf and a navy ink.

I really just can’t believe how versatile these colors are and easy they are to use for a variety of images. All of the products are available on the Butterfly Reflections Ink website and there are still a few days to play along and post you card using the Moodboard colors. Make sure to use the #brimoodboard for your chance to be selected for $20 to the shop!

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

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
