Butterfly Reflections, Ink

 Hi Butterfly Reflections Ink Friends!  It’s Erica here, guesting for the BRI blog today, with a butterfly card, of course!  I started out by stamping the butterflies from the brand new Butterflies stamp from Pinkfresh Studio, with Blackout Ink , on Ranger water colour paper . I like that paper because it’s bright white. I also heatembossed it with clear embossing powder on top, as I was planning on adding some colour to it with a mix of Sweet Petunia Pink , Shark Tooth White and Liquid Pixie Dust .  If you want to make shimmery water colors, make sure you get some of that magical Liquid Pixie Dust ! Add a drop or two to a palette with a few drops of re-inkers of your choice. Easy peasy!  While that was drying, I worked on a background with the Diamond Motif slim line stencil and Distress Oxide inks in Kitsch Flamingo and Iced Spruce . I used blending brushes to give a soft look, and did this on Bristol Smooth paper. This piece was trimmed down to be just ...

Hi guys! Today I have the pleasure of being a guest designer here on the Butterfly Reflections Ink Blog . Oh and hi, it’s Erica , by the way. I had an idea (for ONE card) in mind when I started making it but things kind of took a life of its own and all of a sudden, I was making four. Because why not? Two are done with heat embossing and Distress Oxide resist emboss ink blending, and the other two are just straight up stamped and coloured with Copics. All four cards have the Mail Background stamp from Neat & Tangled on them. The two done with heat embossing are done in Opaque Bright White embossing powder from WOW! Embossing. This is probably my fave white embossing powder, however there are many good ones to choose from HERE . They actually looked really nice with just the heat embossing done. These would make perfect backgrounds for Clean And Simple designs. A little bit of interest and texture but in white on white it’s...

Hello everyone, I'm here guesting with a Lawn Fawn card for you today. Our family enjoys camping and makes us happy but tenting it isn't always fun in rainy weather so we thought we would get a trailer.  So this card is inspired by our upcoming camping season and I can't wait to see all those beautiful stars in the night sky. Now on to my card. I used the LF Happy trails stamps and dies and coloured them in with my copics (colours listed below). I used clear embossing powder to stamp the stars from Upon a Star stamp set and heat set with me heat gun. Then I used Black Soot and Faded Jeans and blended them for the night sky and took a dry tissue and wiped off the excess ink. I then blended in the Peeled Paint for the grass. I stamped the trailer and trees on white card stock with Copic Friendly black ink and colour them in with my copics and cut them out with the matching dies.  I added them to the card with foam tape.  To give it a bit of dimension I ...
