It's Your Birthday!

Hello, Everyone! It's Allison here, and I'm so happy to be back on the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog. Today, I am sharing a card using a mashup of several different company's products, which is pretty typical for me.

I started my card by ink blending a rainbow of Distress Inks onto a panel of Bristol smooth card stock. Once I was happy with the blend, I grabbed this awesome Bokeh stencil set from Newton's Nook. I blended the same color inks over one of the stencils, and then I spritzed the panel with water to create some texture. To finish the panel, I cut it out with the large die from Mama Elephant's Frilly Window Frame die set and adhered it to a white A2 card base.

Next I grabbed the Oversized Smile Stamp & Die set from Waffle Flower Crafts. I used the shadow die to cut a portion of my inked panel. I then cut 4 more shadow die layers out of white card stock. I layered the inked shadow on top of the white shadow layers and glued that back into position on my panel. I then used the actual "Smile" word die to cut two layers of white card stock and glued that onto the shadow. I love the effect that the raised sentiment gives!

Finally it was time to color the adorable mouse, which comes from the Mice Day to Celebrate stamp set from My Favorite Things. I stamped him with Versafine Claire Nocturne ink and colored him with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I had a hard time picking just one mouse from this adorable stamp set!

To finish the card, I stamped the "It's Your Birthday" sentiment from the Oversized Smile stamp set onto black card stock and white heat embossed it. I adhered the sentiment to the card and scattered a few sparkling clear sequins around.

That's it for my card today. Thank you so much for joining me, and make sure you check out all of the goodies available in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink online shop.

Wishing you all a crafty day!

Allison

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
