Fall Friendship Card b y Sara Zoppi

Hi BRI friends, Sara here!
I am back with a new card, inspired by the September BRI Mood Board Challenge.

This color palette is incredible and it is perfect for fall cards. I love the warm tones, I love all of them together!
And this is my inspiration!

I’ve recently bought some Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies and this was the perfect occasion to use them. I look in my stash and I found this Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp set: I instantly thought to use the palette to color all the pumpkins. I stamped all of the images on a piece of copic friendly paper using Memento TuxedoBlack ink. The little fox belongs to the Winter Woodland stamp set while the greenery is from the AutumnWreath one. I colored everything with copic and at the end I fussy cut all of them since I hadn’t coordinating dies.

I then started working on the background. On a piece of watercolor paper, I ink blended Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose, using a blending brush to get a smoother look. I also splattered some bronze Gansai Tambi Starry colors and some white acrylic paint to create some interest.

I used a rectangular scalloped die to create a kraft frame around my scene.

I then moved to my sentiment. I die cut the friend word from Lawn Fawn Rainforest cardstock, I added some shine with Lawn Fawn Glitter Pen and covered it using Ranger Glossy Accents. I also white embossed the small sentiment below (MFT Itty Bitty Basics) on a piece of black cardstock.

I attached everything using liquid glue and foam tape to create some depth and I also added details using a White Gel Pen.

I love the final result, I really hope you will like too. See you next month!
Hugs from Italy!

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
