Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Happy Friday! Kim with you this morning and I am so happy the weekend has arrived, it has been a super cold first week of March! But things are looking up as of this weekend! So, I wanted to make a spring themed card! For my project today, I decided to make a Tri-Fold card to be able to use as many of these fantastic MFT critters - Tweet Friends and Joyful Hearts Bears designed by Stacy Yacula. For this, I took a piece of Bristol cardstock and cut it to 5.5 x 12 so that I could score both sides at 4 inches. By using Bristol, I decided to use my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I stamped all of my images using my stamping tool, I decided to space everything accordingly so that I did not have to mask anything (although, masking would have been easy). I stamped and colored all of my images before stencilling my clouds and grass (both MFT stencils). I just find it so much simpler avoiding the images with the Distress ink and easier to properly stencil the blades of g...

Happy St-Patrick's Day, Kim Hamilton here with you on this, my favorite day of the year! I am Irish on my Mom's side and St-Patrick's Day is the one day of the year that no one can ruin my mood, lol!  Here is an Irish blessing for all of you: May the sun shine, all day long, everything go right, and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true! My project today features all Lawn Fawn and My Favorite Things products and all of these products are available at Butterfly Reflections Ink . I figured shamrocks and a rainbow would be appropriate for my project today. I started with my MFT Cloud Stencil (this is my favorite stencil) with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks on my background panel. I then die cut my Lawn Fawn Rainbow  from multiple Lawn Fawn and MFT card stocks and glued it on the panel. I colored my Shamrocks from the Lawn Fawn My Luck Charm stamp set  with my Copic marke...

Happy New Year crafty friends! Can't believe it is 2018! I am looking forward to the New Year and I am pleased to be with you today sharing this Yeti New Year card! All of the products used are available at the Butterfly Reflections Ink. shop. I ordered this fantastic Yeti Fun set by Craftin Dessert Divas late in the season and I so wanted to use it! This set can also be used for winter themed cards which, is fun. I decided to use the "snow angel" Yeti because he is just too cute! I die cut my panel from the MFT Stitched Mod Rectangle Stax  and stamped my image with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink  (Copic friendly ink) I colored him with my Copic markers  using the BV family for the illusion of snow. I then used a mix of sentiments from the Hero Arts Wonderful Stamp and Cut  and the Lawn Fawn Happy, Happy, Happy add-on  (New Year). I then wanted New Years fireworks so I looked to the Lawn Cuts Stitched Fireworks dies for the background. To add some spar...

Happy Saturday crafty friends! So happy to be with you today on the Butterfly Reflections Ink. Blog! I am deep into my holiday cards so I am sharing a fun one with you today featuring MFT products that can be found in the Butterfly Reflections Ink. Shop :) My inspiration for the project was the puppy from the new MFT Happy Pawlidays set  and I colored the pup like my little BFF Duffy :) I then went through my MFT stash and decided to use the accessories (carpet and pillows) from the MFT Merry Christmoose stamp set.  I stamped the accessories on Kraft card stock and colored them with my Copic Sketch markers . I then decided to opt for a Kraft background. For the background I decided that I wanted a wallpaper effect so I used the Lawn Fawn Argyle Background stamp  with some Judikins sticky embossing powder to add some gold Nuvo gilding flakes. I then cut a piece of wood pattern paper for the floor.  I placed my colored images on the background and deci...

Happy Sunday crafty friends! So nice to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink. blog with you for today :) My project today features MFT products that can be all be found in the Butterfly Reflections Ink. shop ! But I mean, look at those hippos! I just fell in love with them! This is the Happy Hippos stamp set by MFT colored with my Copic Sketch markers - I wanted a really whimsical card and what better than flying Hippos, Lol. For the background "colored" clouds I used the fantastic Cloud Stencil by MFT , I love this stencil! Instead of a typical blue I decided to go with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed to match my Copic accent colors. For the "white" clouds I used the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud borders . I put my elements together and added my favorite Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins . I finished off by adding a little grey Copic markers under my bottom elements to ground them. For those of you intere...

Happy Monday crafty friends! Kim with you this morning and I am sharing another rainbow inspired project! Weather is so beautiful and that is inspiring me with color! Lots of color! All of the products used are available on the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop ! I started by die-cutting the Concord and 9th Floral and Flutter flower die with several colors of card stock. I added shading with Distress Inks to the edges of the petals. I then cut my Neena 80lbs card front to a little narrower than the 4.25 width and die cut the edges with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Border Dies . I then felt the card needed a black sentiment for it to really pop so I chose the Neat & Tangled Awesome die  and I accompanied that with an Avery Elle "You Are" sentiment from the Simply Said Hugs set  (with some craft surgery to mix and match the words). I put the card together and had to add my favorite Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Clear sequins  and a mix of Nuvo Crystal and Jew...

Happy Easter Monday crafty friends! I was lucky enough to have a four day weekend break to spend with family and friends. Very relaxing with lots of love, laughs and yes some craft time :) I hope you all had a great Easter weekend. I felt like playing with Distress Inks for this project ! All of the products can be found in the Butterfly Reflections Ink. Shop I started with a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor paper  and loosely painted on a rainbow of Distress Inks (Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet) once the panel dried I went back in with some (Blueprint Sketch, Mowed Lawn, Fossilized Amber, and Seedless Preserves) to add depth. I then decided to use the Wplus9 Color my World paint tubes  and colored them and the paint brush with my Copic Sketch markers  and fussy cut all of my images.  I have always loved the Lawn Fawn You Color my World sentiment so I white embo...

Happy Monday! Kim with you this morning and I am sharing an anniversary card today made with one of my favorite mixes - colored pencils on Kraft card stock! These are all products you can find in BR shop ! I started with a piece of Kraft card stock and stamped my flowers and leaves from Winnie & Walter's In Bloom - Addie's Garden  (I am obsessed with this set lately) set with Kraft colored ink and I colored them with my Prismacolor pencils. I guess with Easter around the corner, my color palette became what it is! When it came time to add a sentiment (this is an anniversary card for my parents :)) I, again, turned to my current obsession, the Lawn Fawn Happy, Happy, Happy L awn Cuts and stamps .  I stamped the anniversary sentiment on a piece of Perfectly Plaid Rainbow paper and die cut the Happy out of lavender card stock and stamped the "happy" on top in Versafine Onyx Black. I then felt that the left side looked slightly empty so I pu...

Happy Monday crafty friends! Kim With you this morning, can you believe it is already and at the same time finally April! My project today features the fantastic Out of this World stamps and dies by Lawn Fawn ! All of these products are available in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink shop ! I don't know about you but when a set is released that is perfect for masculine/boy cards I jump on it! I have 7 nephews and I find masculine cards daunting! So I had to have this one. I started by stamping all of my images using my Misti Stamp Tool to double stamp for crisp black images.  I Copic coloured my images and I googled actual pictures of the planets to give a realistic color palette.  I then pulled out all the border and background dies I wanted to use. I started by die cutting both navy cardstock and Neena Solar White (80 lbs) with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Frames . I then took the inside white piece and die cut it again using the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitch...

Happy Monday crafty friends, Kim with you this morning with a no-line Altenew watercolored flower! Products can all be found in the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop :) I bought a new set of watercolor paints and I wanted to practice so I pulled out one of my favorite Altenew flower sets Beautiful Day . I always love to practice colouring on Altenew florals due to the size of their stamps.   I started by stamping my image using Distress Ink in Old Paper and slowly building my color. Once I finished my flower I fussy cut it once it was dry (moral to this story, always by the dies...lol)  I then used some accompanying foliage stamps from the Beautiful Day set along with the leaves from the Winnie and Walter In Bloom  Addie's Garden set . I stamped my sentiment in a mix of black and lavender inks using my Misti to mask and be able to double stamp the sections. I cut a matching card base from my Canson watercolor paper popped up my card sprinkled some Pretty Pin...

When the new Lawn Fawn release was launched, like many of you, I wanted the whole release especially the fun critters! This Fab Flowers set however is probably one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets ever!

Happy Monday, Kim with you here this morning sharing a rainbow themed card featuring MFT product from the Butterfly Reflections Ink store!!! It was such cold weekend I decided to hibernate a little a find some well deserved quiet time in my craft room! I absolutely wanted to use the Furever Friends stamp and die sets by My Favorite Things, there is just something about the MFT images that I love. After colouring my images with my Copic markers , I decided I wanted an anchor for them and what better than the My Favorite Things Die-Namics Big Hugs die ! I decided to die cut it from the new Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6x6 papers , I am so going to need to order more of this paper pack! I then decided to die cut the bottom of my base panel using the My Favorite Things  Die-namics Stitched Scallop Basic Edges 2  and repeated it with some more of the same Lawn Fawn pattern paper.
