July Mood Board inspiration with Jane

Hi Friends! I'm so happy to share this Birthday card featuring colors inspirited by the July mood board (see below).

To create this card, I first ink blended the background on Bristol paper using the following distress oxide inks (top to bottom): mustard seed, dried marigold, abandoned coral, seedless preserves and dusty concord. Then, I splatted the background using water and a thin paint brush.

The background was then cut using the scallop stackables die set to create a fun pattern on the edges of the paper.

Next, I stamped and colored the images using copic markers from the following Lawn Fawn stamp sets: Ocean shell-fie, fintastic friends, mermaid for you, you are sublime, keep on swimming and so jelly.

After the images were cut using the coordinating dies, I adhered them using foam tape, thin foam squares and liquid glue to the card front.

Next, I cut the scripty "birthday" and scripty "wishes" die using white cardstock. The "w" from "wishes" was carefully cut using scissors and replaced using an "F" from Finley's abc dies.

Lastly, I added white gel pend accents to my critters and to the background to create the look of bubbles. The card was then adhered to a white A2 card base and that finishes the card!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you will join us for this month's mood board challenge! Check out @brimoodboardchallenge on instagram for all the details!

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
