Super Easy Coloring

Hey Butterfly Reflections Ink fans! Kelly Fusco here.... thesunshinecrafter

I enjoy and appreciate color but I struggle with coloring, like many people.

So for this card Im using the "flick" method.

I used Gina K "Caring Flowers" stamp set & Waffle Flowers Deckled frames dies for this card.

To start I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black onto 110lb Neenah. I used copics:

BG11,BG32,BG34 & BG15 BV01,BV02

RV21,RV23,RV25

& a wee bit of YG13 for the leaves.

Here you can see the flick coloring and for the stamen which got drowned out from the markers I added White Gelly Roll pen. When you color using flicks you leave some white space and you don't have to be perfect or worry about blending. Whoo hoo. Thats for me!

After I finished my coloring I used Versafine Onyx (pigment ink) for my sentiment and I added Hero Arts Clear Embossing powder on top, heated n melted it.

I die cut my panel with the smaller deckle frame die and I used the full size for my black panel. Then I decided it was kind of plain. So I added white ink splatter. It cracked some when I die cut it but I like the look it gave to it. I also used a Black Glaze pen for some specific splatter.

I mounted my main panel up on foam tape and I added a few clear Nuvo drops (Morning Dew). At the very end I added a bit of shimmer pen(Wink Of Stella)to the flower petals (hard to see in pics but in person its shimmery)

Thats it. So easy!

I hope you like this card. I love these colors together and Im a sucker for a floral stamp. Thanks so much for stopping by & check out the shop for all these goodies and much more!

Hugs,

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...

You should have arrived here from the Altenew blog , and we're glad you're here to share the excitement! 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...
