Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hey folks! It's been ages since I've been here on the Butterfly Reflections Ink Blog! I am so happy to be stopping by to share another card with you! Show of hands of who thinks otters are the cutest thing ever! I've been hoarding the My Favorite Things Otterly Love You Stamp Set for awhile, but thought it was time to show it some love. To start my card, I cut a a nice of white cardstock down to 5"x5". Then using my MISTI Stamping Tool , I stamped all of my images with My Favorite Things Black Licorice Hybrid Ink .

    Hello there! Gladys here and I'm excited to be back on the BRI blog today. I have a mermaid shaker card for you with lots of products from different companies. Let's get started shall we?   I always start out by cutting watercolor paper using a stitched rectangle die for my card panel. Then I create my own background colors, this time I used distress oxides inks in wilted violet , broken china , cracked pistachio and fossilized amber . As you can see these inks blend so well together you won't even break a sweat! I splattered some water onto my panel and let it completely air dry.      While that was drying I colored my images from the Mermazing stamp set by My Favorite Things using copic markers. I also used  MFT dye inks for the solid images such as the corals and kelp. I used the  Mermazing coordinating dies to cut my images. Back to my card panel, I used the  lacy l...
