Have a Mice Valentine's Day!

Hey crafty friends!

It’s Julia here with with a Valentine’s Day card! For this one I used the adorable mice from Lawn Fawn’s Crazy Antics, Dandy Day and Really High Five as well as the How you Bean jar and the Hearts Add-On!

First I stamped my images onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them in using Copic Markers. The hearts are from the Special Delivery Box Add- On and the Winter Village stamp sets and the fishing pole is from Beary Happy Holidays.

I die cut two cloud borders and a few puffy clouds out of white cardstock. After that I ink blended Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Preserves and a tiny bit of Black Soot Distress Oxide onto a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. I also added lots of splatters of Liquid Stardust for extra shine. Then, I added a tiny bit of Spun Sugar Oxide on the edges of the clouds.

I stamped the sentiment from the How You Bean Heart Add-On with Seedless Preserves onto the lowest cloud border. Then, I added the cloud borders, individual clouds and of course my jar of hearts to the background with liquid glue. My mice were added with foam squares and then I just added the remaining smaller hearts.

Finally, to add even more sparkle, I added lots and lots of shimmer pen!

If you want to see how this card came together you can click on the video below!

I just love the little guy that is fishing for hearts and of course the cutie on the right that is blowing hearts! I seriously can’t get enough of the mice! They are so versatile for any occasion and just add sooo much cuteness, right?

Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you have a wonderful day!

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
