Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello friends! Thanks so much for joining me here today for another card. It's hard to believe my time here is almost over! I have had such a great time, bringing you inspiration and promoting Vanessa's fabulous store! So, how about that card? I started with a white card stock panel, and die cut an oval from it, using the Avery Elle Sweet Scallops die set . I then traced a light pencil mark onto a white card base as a guide for my stamping, I flicked onto it, some black paint, and allowed it to dry while I did my stamping.  Using the Anemone stamp set from Jane's Doodles, I stamped two flowers, and a leaf within the pencil line markings on my card base, erased them, and colored in my images with Copic Markers. Here is a look at the colors I used to color the images. :) After the coloring was finished, I popped up the white panel, inserted a blacked die cut scallop from that same Avery Elle die set , and added a white heat embossed sentiment ...

Hello, hello! Lindsay here, sharing a floral card using a few older sets from Winnie & Walter! I know I have used it before, but the  In Bloom: Anna's Flora  set is one of my favorites. I started with a card stock panel, and stamped a cluster of images in the top corner. I masked off some of the flowers, to add leaves, and then I colored them in with Copic Markers. Using The Big, the Bold, and You stamp set, I stamped my sentiment in black ink, and added strips of gold glitter paper, and black card stock to the side. I then adhered the panel to a white card base. Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you give your older stamp sets some love! Have a crafty day!

Hello! Lindsay with you today! Get your shades on, because this one is bright! I am bringing back an older My Favorite Things stamp set, Undeniable Chemistry , because it is one of my favorites. I also paired it with the fabulous We R Memory Keepers Next Level Embossing Folders . I started by taking a panel of white card stock, and blending in a rainbow of Distress Inks , using a foam blending tool. I then spritzed it with some water, let it sit a few seconds, and blotted it away. Once that was dry, I ran it through my die cut machine with the Geometric Next Level Embossing Folder . It is such a cool 3-D effect! I adhered it to a white card base, and began working on the rest of my card. For the beakers, I used the coordinating dies , and added the liquid after I applied Distress Inks, and white paint. I also die cut a few other pieces using vellum, and adhered those behind the images. I stamped my sentiment using Versamark , and white embossing powder on black card ...

Hello! I am so glad you stopped by today! I have a bold ink blended card to share with you today, using some stamps, and basics from the store.  Cards like this are a great way to create a simple, no pressure design, with big impact. So, I started by taking the Whimsical Greetings stamp set by My Favorite Things, and stamping the triangle stamp randomly over a panel of white card stock, using Onyx Black Versafine ink. I then heat set it using Clear embossing powder. I then began blending in a few Ranger Distress Inks, in Wilted Violet, Festive Berries, and Fossilized Amber. I took one of the sentiments from the set, and white heat embossed it onto black card stock. I trimmed it down, and added it to the panel. I adhered the panel to a white card base using a piece of fun foam. To finish it, I adhered a few black sequins. I hope you were inspired! Have a bright, and happy Wednesday, crafty friends! Supplies Used: Paper: White, Black Stamps: Whimsical ...

Hello! Is it finally feeling like spring where you are? There were a few days that I could open my windows, and that has made me happy! Flowers make me happy too, and if I can't have real ones yet, I will accept the stamped variety! Sadly, I only used this gorgeous stamp set, Sketched Blooms , once since I got it, and it was time to ink it up again! I stamped and masked some of the flowers across the bottom of a piece of watercolor paper. I took the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors , and added rich pigment to my flowers, allowed them to dry, and added a light blue wash of color to the background. After it was dry as well, I stamped my sentiment from the Whimsical Greetings stamp set, in black ink. I then trimmed the panel down, and adhered it to a card base with a piece of fun foam. I finished it off with a few black pearls. I hope you are able to get some crafting in! It's good for the soul! Have a great day!

Happy hump day! I am so glad you stopped by today, because I have a fun stamped card to share with you. This week is expected to be warm, and sunny, and with that a parade of floral cards will ensue! This lovely floral set, from Concord and 9th, called Wildflower , is so fun to stamp and color. I took a white card base, and did some masking, stamping the various images in a cluster/spray in the top left of the card front. I sponged in some blue ink around the edges, and colored in the flowers using Copic Markers. I outlined the images in a very light blue. For my sentiment, I used a little greeting from Avery Elle's Sentimental clear set , and finished it off with black pearls. There is so much you can do with this floral set, and I sure plan to make good use of it! I hope you'll share with us what you've created using it! I would certainly love to see. Thanks for stopping by today! Now, go get crafty!

Hello, hello! I have an elegant floral card to share today, using a few products found in the store! I started by stamping the amazing rose image from Winnie & Walter's Anna's Florals stamp set, and colored in with Copic Markers. I trimmed them out, and outlined them with black marker. I then moved on to the background! The Next Level Embossing Folders from We R Memory Keepers, are amazing! I used the Geometric set for this, and when I had it finished, splattered it with a bit of Black Soot Distress Stain . After it dried, I adhered it to a white card base, and attached my flower, leaf combo, along with a sentiment strip of black card stock, and white embossing. I chose a sweet sentiment from MFT's fabulous Whimsical Greetings stamp set. Lastly, I added a few gems! I hope you were inspired today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello friends! I have a fun card to share with you today, using some fun My Favorite Things products, you can find in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink shop! I love the Horizontal Stitched Cover-up Companion Die from MFT, and used that as the frame for my card. First, though, I added some red ink to the background, as well as a piece of MFT's Country Fair Patterned Paper , in Red. Using the adorable Recipe For Happiness set, I stamped the chef onto white card stock, as well as a few utensils, and colored them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out, and placed them onto my card. I stamped my sentiment last, and adhered it all to my card base. I hope you enjoyed, and are inspired to play with your stamps, and inks!

Hello! I am so glad you could join me today. I have a fun little card to share using Hero Art's Cactus Stamp set .  I started with a panel of watercolor paper, and wet it liberally with water, dropping in pink, yellow, and green Distress inks . I allowed those to blend, and then dry, before trimming the panel down. I popped up the panel onto a white card base, and stamped my sentiment in the center. I stamped out the cactus, and colored it with Copic Markers , before trimming it down, and popping it up onto the card. To finish it I added a few rhinestones! I hope you've enjoyed!

Hi friends!  Thanks for stopping by today! I have an ink blended card, using a host of fun products from the Butterfly Reflections, Ink store! To begin, I took a white panel, masked off the center area with a piece of masking paper, and sponged in a range of Distress Inks from Ranger, using an ink blending tool. I then removed the mask, and began working on my sentiment. Using Avery Elle's Simply Said: Crazy stamp set , I stamped it in Versamark ink . I then white heat embossed the image, and added foil to it using the Heidi Swapp Minc machine. You could always use a laminator if you don't have the Minc. Once the image was foiled, I die cut it out with the coordinating die , and popped it up onto my card, adding the rest of the sentiment that was heat embossed onto black card stock. To finish it off, I die cut a few black hearts from Memory Box's Flicker Heart die , and added glossy accents to them. Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a great o...

Whether its markers , or watercolors, this stamp set is so fun to color! I started by stamping the hill image twice, as well as a couple of trees, onto a white card base.

Hello! I am so glad you stopped by today! I have a fun, colorful card to share with you, using a couple of fabulous stamp sets from My Favorite Things .  I am a sucker for florals, and the Sketched Blooms had to come live with me! I started by cutting a piece of watercolor paper down to 4 3/8 x 5 1/4, and stamped my flowers and stems in a waterproof black ink. I then used multiple colors of Distress Inks , to stamp out my flowers, adding water with a spray bottle to spread the color. I then immediately hit it with my heat tool to keep it from spreading. I did that to all of the flowers. With the leaves, I simple colored in the bottom portion using Distress Markers, and the spritzed it with water. To finish it, I adhered it to a white card base with foam, and added a sentiment from the Birthday Bears Stamp Set , using white heat embossing onto black card stock. I also adhered a few black pearls! Thanks again for stopping by, and be sure to check out all of th...

Hello! Lindsay with you today, sharing a fun watercolored card, using a few fun products from the Butterfly Reflections store !  This little bunny from the  Birthday Bunnies Stamp Set  is just too sweet. I stamped it onto white card stock, and colored it with Copic Markers, along with the cluster of balloons. Afterward, I die cut them out using the  Birthday Bunnies Die Set , and set them aside to work on my panel. I took Picked Raspberry, and Salty Ocean Distress Inks, and applied them to a piece of acetate. I spritzed both with water, and applied it to my very wet Watercolor paper. I allowed the colors to bleed, and meld together, before heating it with my heat tool. Once it was completely dry, I die cut the panel using  Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables  from Lawn Fawn. I added the sentiment, and adhered the rabbit, and balloons with foam tape. Lastly, I adhered a few sequins, from Lucy's Cards, Warm Golden Glow pack. Thanks for ...
