Butterfly Reflections, Ink

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 Crafty Friends! Stephanie here with my last card for this DT term. I can't believe how fast and how amazing these past 4 months have been! Today, I'm sharing a Hello card using Pinkfresh Studio and Honey Bee Stamps .  I started by cutting some white cardstock down to A2 card size. I then put the card in my Misti Tool and stamped the pretty flower border from the Pinkfresh Studio Charming Floral Border stamp set. I colored in the stamp with Copic markers. It's hard to see in the picture, but I also added in a shadow outline in N0 Copic to add a little dimension.  When I finished coloring, I moved on to the sentiment. I stamped the small sentiment from the same Charming Floral stamp set in clear Versamark and embossed it with white Ranger Embossing Powder .  I then stamped the hello from the Honey Bee Stamps Bitty Buzzwords set. I just love this set because it's so versatile! I popped up the hello with some foam adhesive and glued down the 2nd sentiment flat...

Hello friends! Audrey here! I am back today with my second post as guest designer for December! My card today uses products from Honey Bee Stamps and Lawn Fawn ! To create my card, I started off by diecutting a piece of kraft cardstock, cut to 4" x 5.25" with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflake Backdrop . Then, I used it over completely with Lawn Fawn Yeti Ink , and splattered the background with watered down white acrylic paint. I added a snowy hill by diecutting a piece of white cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hillside dies . I stamped a few images from the Merry Little Mice stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps . colored them with Polychromos colored pencils, and fussy cut them with my scissors. I popped them up on the hillside, and stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Merry Christmouse stamp set onto a banner diecut. I matted the panel with a piece of gingham paper from my stash, and added a snippet under the sentiment too. To finish off my card, I ad...

Hello crafty friends! It's already the middle of December and Christmas is just 12 days away! Today I have a holiday card inspired by the December mood board featuring Paperie Ink stamps. This month's mood board is fabulous and the colors are right up my alley. I created this tri-fold scene card with two Paperie Ink sets, Build a Tree and Like Christmas .  I stamped and colored the images with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. For the background, I first ink blended a night sky with Distress oxides ( tumbled glass , chipped sapphire , black soot ). Next I used the Honey Bee Stamps Layering Birch Trees Stencils with Distress Oxides ( weathered wood , picket fence ) to add my forest.  I had a happy little accident with those trees-- I thought my first layer of ink was dry before adding the picket fence ink. I noticed the white was not showing up so I added white embossing powder . Guess what wasn't dry yet... yup, my first layer of trees. Powder everywhere. I started t...

Hello friends!  Audrey here!  I am thrilled to be returning to the BRI team as guest designer for the month of December!  Today, I have my first card to share with you using the super adorable Merry Little Mice from Honey Bee Stamps!   To create my card, I started off with a piece of kraft cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  With a horizontal orientation, I used the Seasonal Winds stencil from Trinity Stamps with some white pigment ink to add a winter wind to the background.  I inked the edges with both white pigment ink and some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide .  Then, I stamped a few images from the Merry Little Mice stamp set , colored them with my Polychromos colored pencils, and fussy cut them with my scissors.  Before adding them to the panel with foam tape, I stamped each image on the panel so that the mice would have their tails, then used Grit Paste and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter to add crunchy snow underneath the mice and snowman. ...

 Hello Crafty Friends, Stephanie here again! Today I'm sharing a card I made using Honey Bee Stamps . I started by cutting white cardstock to a little larger than A2 size, I wanted to make sure the pickup fit comfortably. Then I created the background by making a sunset and a dirt road. I used Distress Oxide colors: Seedless Preserves , Abandoned Coral and Scattered Straw for the sunset sky. For the dirt road I used Mowed Lawn , Twisted Citron and Gathered Twigs . I added some splatters to the whole background.  I used the new Honey Bee Stamp set  Loads of Fall  with the  Big Pickup Tailgate   I love using the Big Pickup Tailgate and Big Pickup Cab sets to make cards for the men in my family. It works out great since they're all gear heads! I just had to pop the dog in the pickup because he's just so cute! I colored the pickup with Copics - G82, YG63, C2, C5 and C7. I then added the Thank You stamp from the Friend Stamp Set  and the coordinati...

Hi everyone! Peggy here with some moodboard inspiration. I hope you will join our challenge on Instagram @brimoodboardchallenge! This cute raccoon is from Honey Bee Stamps and the set is called Stolen my heart.  He fits the moodboard perfectly because of the grey and black and the little heart in hot pink really pops! Let me show you how I made this card. I started by stamping the little raccoon in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored him with my copic markers (C for the raccoon, RV for the heart). I used Nuvo Crystal Dimensional Glaze for the heart. I used the Largest of the Small Slimline Dies from Lawn Fawn to cut a panel. I covered the panel with the Heffy Doodle Rays the Roof Stencil and blended Picked Raspberry and offset Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks. I wrapped some black and white baker's twine round the part of the panel where I wanted the raccoon. Next I adhered the panel to a slightly larger black panel I cut with my paper trimmer with some foam tape and adhered th...

 Hello, friends! Kelly Martin here, and thanks for stopping by the blog today and spending a little bit of your day with me!  I recently sat down and had a nice wintery card-making session and I wanted to share one of my projects with you today, so let's get started! To begin, I trimmed down a 4.25 by 5.5 inch piece of white cardstock. Using a blending brush  and my Distress Oxide inks in Speckled Egg , Faded Jeans , and Chipped Sapphire , I created the ink blended background. I simply started with the lightest color first (Speckled Egg), and blended in a circular motion in the middle of the card. Then I used my second darkest color (Faded Jeans), and blended in a circular motion in an outward direction from the middle, and then repeated that same process with the darkest color (Chipped Sapphire). I then added some splatters using the same oxide inks and some white acryllic paint. Using blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks is a great way to give your background that ...

 Happy Thursday to all of you crafty people!  It's Amanda Fitterer back with you today sharing one last card for October!   When I saw Mama Elephant's Santa Baby stamp set , I immediately imagined peeking through Santa and Mrs. Claus's window and seeing them share a sweet moment.  I knew I needed to make a card like this!   To create this scene, I used Heffy Doodle's Stitched Rectangle Dies and Studio Katia's European Window Die . To create my bricks, I used the Salvaged Brick Stencil by Honey Bee Stamps and Candied Apple Distress Oxide .  I masked off where my window will be using Heffy Doodle Memo Tape . Next, I masked off the brick to create a "light" inside the room using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide . Next, I stamped my images from the Santa Baby Stamp Set and the Toasty Friends Stamp Set .  I colored my images with Copic markers. Then, I adhered everything together using 3D foam squares, strips, and liquid glue! Such a sweet mome...

  Oh my goodness, do you love this scene or what!?  The Mama Elephant Toasty Friends stamp set is SO sweet!

For the "floor", I am using the Ink Blot Shop Get Grounded stamp set .  I am stampign with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and then blending with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.
