Slimline Hibiscus Birthday with Leontine

Hello! Today I'm sharing a slimline card with the new hibiscus and tropical leaves sets from Lawn Fawn. As soon as I saw them I knew I had to get them. You can do so many things with them and this is just one example. 

I used Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait on some Peacock cardstock and Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps on some white cardstock. I ink blended the white piece with Salvaged Patina oxide ink and the new tropical leaves background stencils. While that was drying I started die cutting all of the leaves and flowers from:

-          Happy Hibiscus

-          Magic Iris Tropical Leaves Add-On

-          Tropical Leaves Backdrop

-          Tropical Leaves

I used the following cardstocks for the flowers and leaves:

-          Ballet slipper

-          Sunflower

-          Cilantro

-          Noble Fir

I wanted to darken up the edges a little bit with some distress ink. You could also use the oxide version. The colors I used to match the cardstock were:

-           Kitsch Flamingo 

-           Mustard Seed

  Mowed Lawn

  Rustic Wilderness

I glued all of the pieces on my inked panel with liquid glue, only the large hibiscus flowers were popped up with a few thin foam squares. I also adhered my inked panel onto the scalloped panel.

After everything had found a place on my card I stamped the sentiment. First I prepped the cardstock with my anti-static pouch. Then I stamped ‘happy birthday to you’ from the Happy Happy Happy stamp set with some clear ink. I added some white embossing powder and melted it with my heat gun. Once that was done I adhered the panel to a white card base and then the card was all done. 

I’m very happy with the result and I hope you like it too. 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...

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 wate...

There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! 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...
