Butterfly Reflections, Ink

 Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! I hope you're having a great day so far. It's Cassie from Creatively Cass, and I'm here to share a fun bookmark project I made this week. Let's get to it!  I started this shaker by stamping my images. I just love the cuties in the Rain or Shine stamp set by Avery Elle . I stamped it with some Copic friendly black ink and colored the in with my Copic markers. I don't have the dies for this, so I fussy cut them out with some detail scissors. Next comes making the shaker!  I die cut two of the medium size of circle frame dies like this one and cut some acetate to fit between my shaker sandwich. I used a mixture of blue sequins and adhered my shaker together. I adhered the images to the shaker and started working on my sentiment and finishing touches.  I heat embossed one of the sentiments from the Sunny Vibes stamp set by MFT Stamps on some blue cardstock. That was adhered to the shaker as well. A little hole reimbursement die wa...

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a colorful rainbow card for you today! To start I stamped all my images on Neenah Solar White 110lb Cardstock    Sunny Studio Heart Bouquet three times    The cute fox from Lawn Fawn Scootin’ By This card needed a bit of preparation because it involved selecting an assortment of copic markers. But once that selection is made, the coloring itself is a breeze. I die cut the images and placed the 3 balloon bouquets on top of each other so I could decide which balloon needed which color to create a rainbow effect from the bottom to the top. Copics used Reds        R22, R24, R37                                Orange    YR07, Y38 Yellow     Y15, Y19, Y02          ...

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so happy to be back at the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog! Today I'm sharing a slimline card that I created using a whole bunch of Lawn Fawn stamp sets. A bit of backstory: just about one year ago, my husband and I went on a mini-honeymoon to Disney World immediately after our wedding. I am a huge Disney fan, and my husband had never properly been to the parks. It was the most magical vacation and we had the best time ever. We had been hoping to go back this year but, like so many others, our travel plans got shelved due to the pandemic. I've been trying to re-make the magic at home as much as I can to ease the pain of missing out on the trip - I even tried to make some classic Disney World treat recipes at home - and, in this card, I tried to create some of my favorite parts of the Magic Kingdom. I made this a slimline card so that I would have more space to accommodate all the images I wanted to include. I am still (somewhat) pat...

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so happy to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog. Today, I'm sharing what I like to call an "overloaded" card - I built a scene, and then kept adding critters, and critters, and more critters, until the scene was completely overloaded! I probably could have cut out half of the images, and the card would have been just fine. Oh well - at least there's a lot to look at! I started by building the background scene. I used Distress Oxide Inks to blend the sky ( Salty Ocean ), the grass ( Lucky Clover ), the pond ( Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers ), and the cattails ( Shabby Shutters ). I also used some Lawn Fawn stencils for the sky ( Cloudy Stencil ) and the grass ( Grassy Stencil ). I splattered the panels with white paint and Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust . I used a bunch of Lawn Fawn dies to cut out the background pieces. I used the Stitched Pond die , and the Cattails Border die . I ink-blended a small pane...

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so happy to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink! Today, I'm sharing a Get Well Soon card featuring stamps and supplies from Lawn Fawn's Spring 2020 Release. To start, I stamped out the adorable images of branches, leaves, dirt piles and bugs from Lawn Fawn's A Bug Deal stamp set. I coloured them in with Copic markers and cut them all out, leaving a small white border around each image. For the background, I used a cloudy stencil to blend on some Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass . I did this on almost the entire card panel, leaving a small space at the bottom for the grass. I splattered the whole sky area with some white paint, as well as Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust , for a layer of shimmer. At the bottom, I used a grassy stencil to blend on some Distress Oxide ink in Lucky Clover . I love how the one-layer inked background adds so much visual interest without adding too many bulky layers. I arranged all of t...

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so happy to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog! I'm still getting lots of use out of the new Lawn Fawn Spring 2020 release, and today I have another card to share using their Really High Five stamp set. To make this card, I first stamped out the adorable bunny and mouse, as well as the trampoline and little jump lines, from the Lawn Fawn Really High Five stamp set in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink , and coloured in the images with Copic markers. I cut them out, leaving a small white border. I then put together the slider mechanism. First, I cut the rectangular sunshine piece from Lawn Fawn's Hello Sunshine Remix paper pad . I then cut two slider channels into it using Lawn Fawn's Slide on Over dies. I placed foam on the back of the panel, making sure to leave lots of space for the slider elements to slide around in their channels. After placing a couple dimes in the spots they should be to slide, I then stuck the whole ...

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm excited to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog to share another card with you! I'm constantly inspired by the beautiful underwater scenes I see made by fellow cardmakers, and I have slowly built up my collection of underwater-themed stamps over the past few years so that I can join in the fun. I experimented with some non-traditional water colours for the background of this card. I blended Distress Oxide inks in Dusty Concord , Faded Jeans and Cracked Pistachio onto a piece of watercolour paper, and then splattered the whole panel with water and gold watercolour paint. I then cut the top with the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Banner die to give it that fun wavy edge. I layered the whole water panel onto a piece of Lawn Fawn Gold Rush cardstock , which I had die-cut at the top with Lawn Fawn's Simple Stitched Hillside border die . I adhered both pieces onto a pool-blue card base. Then, I was ready to start adding images! ...

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so happy to be sharing another card with you on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog! Today, I played along with the Butterfly Reflections Ink February Mood Board. If you want to find out more about the mood board, check out this post on the BRI blog. I challenged myself to stay within the colour themes of the board (pinks, red and silver) while building a scene that wouldn't normally be built with those colours. I think the final result is pretty cool! To make the background, I first blended some Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar onto a panel of watercolour paper using the My Favorite Things Cloud Stencil . I then used more ink blending (Distress Oxide Ink in Festive Berries , Barn Door , Worn Lipstick and Iced Spruce ) to make the puff of lava and smoke erupting from the volcano. I masked off everything but the lava puff, and splattered it with water, silver watercolour paint and red watercolour paint. I added some sequins and hea...

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm super happy to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog today! I find that, while sometimes I make cards just because I have an idea and want to have fun, more often I am making a card with a specific recipient and event in mind, and I try to tailor the card to that person's taste. I like both types of cardmaking, and having to think of ways to make cards for specific likes or interests is usually a fun challenge! I made this birthday card for my sister-in-law. I know that she has loved the yeti and narwhal stamps whenever I've used them in the past, so I wanted to incorporate them into her card. I was also inspired by her love of Hawaii and warm weather, so I tried to make the scene look like it could be Hawaii. The background is a mixture of cardstock and ink-blended pieces, as follows: WATER: Distress oxide ink in Chipped Sapphire , Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers , blended onto watercolour paper and splattered with ...

Hi, Crafty Friends! This is Tiffany and today I'm sharing a card using Hello Bluebird, Mama Elephant, and Lawn Fawn products that can be purchased in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink. online store. I used Hello Bluebird's Gallery Frame Die #2 to cut a piece of Jolly Holly paper from Pebble's Merry Little Christmas paper pad, I also used the Gallery Die to cut a piece of white card stock. I used Lawn Fawn's Snowfall Backdrop  and Simple Stitched Hillside Borders to create a snowy scene. I used a light blue ink and a touch of dark blue ink to create a light blended background for the images and sentiment, I then splattered white iridescent paint on both. I stamped the images and sentiment from Mama Elephant's Snow Friends stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut out the images and colored them with Copic markers. I added Star Dust Stickles to the hats, glove, and base of the snow bear and snow kitties. I assembled the card using Tombo liquid glue and foa...

Happy Saturday crafters! Danielle here up on the BRI blog today as a guest and I couldn't be more excited!!  I have a fun card to share with you today featuring the new and adorable Mama Elephant Little Panda Agenda !  As soon as I saw this stamp set I knew I had to have it and I knew Vanessa would ship it out super fast because she's awesome!! This card was a labor of love but I am more than thrilled with the way it turned out!  I first started with an ink blended panel using Distress Ink Oxides in Tumbled Glass , Dried Marigold , and Tattered Rose .  I then adhered my ink blended panel directly on to my black card base.  I had an idea that it would be cute for the pandas to be on bamboo, and I found the HelloBluebird Birch Tree Dies would be perfect! Once I ran the tree dies through my die cutting machine I colored the trees to look like bamboo using copic markers in YG07, YG25, G09 and G94. For the leaves I added some Nuvo Glaze for extra detail. ...
