Flower Shower Shaker Card and Box

 

Hello! Today I’m back on the blog with a Mama Elephant project. I made a shaker card using the new Flower Shower stamp set and made a matching Petite Treat Box as well. We’ve had a lot of rain in the Netherlands last week, so this card was totally inspired by it.

For the card I used the Comic Cover Wonky die on some Mermaid cardstock. I stamped pretty much all of the images from Flower Shower with Jet Black Ink and colored them with my Copic Sketch Markers. The colors I used were: R000, R20, 0, C00, C0, C1, C3, N0, N1, N3, N5, E51, E53, E55, E57, V01, V05, V06, V09, BV01, BV02, BV04, BV08, B60, B63, B66, B69, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19, YR15, YG00, YG01, YG11, YG13, YG17, G24, G28, G29, BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78.


I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out and used a black glaze pen to add some dimension to their eyes. Next I added the images to the Comic Cover Wonky with some liquid glue. Then I put some acetate behind the cover and I added some foam strips to it.

I decided to make an all copic colored background, so I cut some cheap cardstock with the Comic Cover Wonky and traced it on some copic friendly paper. I used a Copic Multi Liner to mark the center of each border, so I’d know where to color, without seeing pencil lines on my card. I let the multi liner dry completely before I erased the pencil lines and started coloring. Once that was done I stamped the sentiment with some Deep Sea Ink. I wend around the edges of the foam tape with an anti static Powder Tool. That way I feel a little more confident about filling it up with shaker material such as star confetti and Chunky Glitter. I closed the panel and after adding it to a card base the card itself was finished.

Now I could work on the Petite Treat Box. I used Mermaid cardstock again to cut out the box parts. For the little rainbow on the top I used Ballet Slipper, Sticky Note and Mermaid cardstock. I also colored the same images from Flower Shower once more. I used some Lawn Fawn Outside in Stitched Square Stackables to cut out four squares of copic friendly paper for the background. I colored those squares the same way as the background of my card. Scor-Tape is my favorite tape to assemble a box like this. Next I added all of the images and added some Glossy Accents on the puddles of rain and raindrops to finish it off. 


And this is the result! A matching card and treat box. I hope you like my project. If you're interested in seeing how I made these two, you can watch the video right here. Have an amazing week!

Hugs,

Leontine

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
