Big sentiment birthday card by Gladys

Hello crafty friends! This is Gladys and I'm so excited to be back on the BRI blog and I will be sharing weekly projects with you for this term. Today is a special day for me because it's my birthday. YAY!! Of course, I have a birthday card to share featuring products from Mama Elephant.

I started by ink blending the main card panel using Bristol smooth cardstock. This is my favorite paper for ink blending because it's so smooth and easily blend colors together. I used distress oxide inks in shaded lilac and kitsch flamingo. I then splattered some water and diluted shaded lilac for added interest.

I stamped the images from Boba Tea set onto a sheet of Spectrum Noir card stock with MFT milk chocolate ink. I colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For the sentiment I used the big Happy Birthday die. I love this die because it's one piece so you don't have to worry about lining things back together. I cut it 3x on white cardstock and then once on a soft dark purple cardstock. I stacked them up with liquid glue to give dimension.

I adhered the huge sentiment on the center of the panel. Then I arranged the images right below it with double sided foam tape. That completes my card I hope you enjoy. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

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
