You Bet Giraffe I Love You!

Hey friends! Britney here with a with a very punny card featuring My Favorite Things products (Joyful Giraffe and Giraffe Sentiments). I saw Laura Bassen make a card using these products. I thought the sentiment was so punny, I had to order them and make a card right away.

If you’ve ever read any of my previous blog posts before, you know I like to start with my background first. I used the largest of the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Stackables for the green sheet of paper from Lawn Fawn’s Really Rainbow Scallops 6x6 Paper Pad and the largest of the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I used Lawn Fawn’s Cloudy Stencil and Kiddie Pool ink to make the clouds. Then I splattered on some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.

I cut the MFT’s Joyful Giraffe using a variety of Lawn Fawn cardstocks and shaded them with a variety of Lawn Fawn inks. I assembled my giraffe and popped it’s head up with some foam tape on the card base. I added some white highlights using my gel pen and accented the eyes and nose with my black glaze pen. I cut a scrap piece of Lawn Fawn Noble Fir cardstock using the largest of the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Borders. I wanted the use the green cardstock as my trees. Before attaching my “trees” to the card base with foam tape, I embossed a sentiment from MFT’s Giraffe Sentiments.

For the inside of my card, I stamped sentiments from the MFT’s Giraffe Sentiments using Lawn Fawn Artichoke ink. I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it. 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

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
