Rainbow Balloons 🌈

Hello crafty friends! It's Veronica here and I'm very happy to be back on the blog with my second DT project 🙆 For this occasion I created a super colorful card featuring Balloon Besties Stamp Set by My Favorite Things. I just love those flying cuties!

First of all, I created the background by ink blending some Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Shabby Shutters on a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 Lb paper. I wanted to have just a stripe colored, not the whole panel. I also splattered some water and white paint to give texture. Then, I stamped my images on a piece of Transotype paper in Memento Tuxedo Black, I colored my critters with a bunch of Copic Markers and fuzzy cut them. At this point I added some details with my White Glaze Jelly Roll Pen.

Before assembling the card with some foam, I realized my background was quite empty. So, I decided to stamp some confetti in Memento London Fog from the Mice Day to Celebrate Stamp Set by My Favorite Things just here and there and I colored them in the same shades of the rest of the scene.

I finally stamped a sentiment from the same balloons stamp set in Memento London Fog again and I glued my panel on a piece of gray paper. I used some foam to give dimension.

Hope you like my card and I will see you again next week!

From Italy with love,

Veronica

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
