Mothers Day Bri Moodboard Inspiration

Hello crafty friends! Davina here on the blog with fun Mothers Day card I created using some wonderfully tropical products in the shop, and the May BRI Moodboard colors. All of the items I used are in stock at the Butterfly Reflections Ink website.

Once again Amanda had gifted us a beautiful Moodboard to inspire our creativity. Rose Water, Aurora Magenta, Marine Green, and Tropic Canary. The jewel tones of this months colors scream tropics to me, so I made a tropical scene. That amazing Fantastic Fronds slimline cover plate is from Trinity Stamps, and I only used one, small yet mighty, cute stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh called Tropical Toucans.

I used some heavy weight cardstock to make my slimline base for my card. Next, I cut the 4 inch remaining piece of cardstock with my Fantastic Fronds slimline coverplate. On a piece of 3.5 X 8.5 Bristol Smooth Cardstock I blended Lucky Clover, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron Distress oxide inks. I gave them a little splatter with clean water, white ink, and green ink then put aside to dry.

I stamped the adorable images from Tropical Toucans onto Neenah classic crest cardstock and colored with copic markers. After diecutting with the Tropical Toucans coordinating dies, I added small white dot highlights. I adhered the white die cut fronds on top of my inkblended panel, then arranged the branches and toucans on top. I decided to pop the toucans up with some die cut fun foam.

For my sentiment, I used an older Lawn Fawn Scripty Mom Lawn Cuts die that I cut 4 times from cardstock. I used a piece of magenta cardstock that I had in my scrap bin for the top piece. Then I used a little sentiment strip from Toucan Do It, that I stamped onto a small banner with citron colored ink. I topped “mom” with a foam popped toucan and surrounded it with small flowers from the Tropical Toucans set.

I finished this up with a few gold and iridescent sequins, and an inner sentiment that says “Happy Mothers Day!” I hope this jewel tones cutie inspires you to play along with the May color challenge for your chance to win $20 to the shop! Just use all 4 colors and the hashtag #brimoodboard

Thank you for stopping by, Davina

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

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, then tore the vel
