Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm back on the blog with a summer themed card with some cute flamingos. They're my favorite animal since I was little so love everything with flamingos. Let me tell you how I made this card. For this card I used the sunburst backdrop  that I cut from some white cardstock  and ink blend it with distress oxide. I used squeezed lemonade for the inside and for the outside kitch flamingo . These colors are my favorites for summer backgrounds. Next I cut the magic iris tropical leaves add on  from white cardstock and ink blended it with lucky clover . I'm not a fan of the magic iris itself because I can't make it work, but I love this add on to use on a card.  Next I stamped two flamingo's, some leaves and flowers from the fabulous flamingo stampset from sunny studio and colored them with copic makers . Next I adhered everything with foam squares for some extra dimension. The sentiment I stamped on the green color from the watercolor wishes ra...

Hello! Today I'm on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog again. I made a summer card with some cute stamps from Mama Elephant and I framed them with the Slim Film City dies. I mainly did copic coloring to fill the backgrounds, but I also used some colored cardstock and distress oxide inks to complete the colorful look. I was inspired by the thought of being able to go on holiday again. I’m sure most of us know that feeling. Until then this is my little getaway moment. I started using the Slim Film City dies on some Black Licorice cardstock and Mermaid cardstock . I made a white card base of 8” x 3 ¼” and cut a panel of smooth cardstock to fit the card base. Also I cut a panel of copic friendly paper, to fit behind the film piece. I adhered the film piece onto the copic friendly paper with liquid glue. I then started to color each frame with my Copic Sketch Markers. The colors I used were: B0000, B000, B00, B01, B63, B66, BG11, BG23, BG49, BG72, BG75, BG78, YR000, YR00, YR01, YR3...

Hey crafty friends! It's Jess and I'm excited to share this card featuring Citrus Trimmings from Studio Katia. When I saw this set, I just knew I had to have it. So, one order ( of way more than I intended to buy, as per usual ) from Butterfly Reflections Ink later, I was ready to start creating. I started off by stamping one of the large border stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink since I knew I'd be doing some Copic coloring. I colored up all of the adorable lemon and lime images and then fussy cut the whole thing. I grabbed some patterned cardstock from my stash and paired it with some plain black cardstock. I love how that strip of black gives a nice contrast between the light yellow and the citrus images. I layered everything up and adhered it so my card base. I snagged some cute green and white twine and positioned it on the top portion of the card. Then, I die cut one of the smaller circles from the My Favorite Things Inside Out Stitched Circle STAX an...

Hello everyone! Gladys here and I'm sharing this summer card with you today.   I used the adorable Beach Day stamp set from Neat and Tangled . It comes with three animals an elephant, rhino and a hippo dressed in their swim suits. I had a lot of fun coloring them with copic markers.    For my background I die cut the Horizontal Stripes Elle-ments by Avery Elle . I colored it with peacock feathers, cracked pistachio, twisted citron, squeezed lemonade and abandoned coral distress inks . I adhered the critters with foam tape for dimension. I also used glossy accent on the rhino's goggles and wink of stella on their swim suits. I hope you are enjoying your summer! Thanks for stopping by, till next time! HUGS!!!

Hello Friends Waleska here with another Summer Card for you, I love the  Flamingo Floatie Stamp Set  from Neat and Tangled, in the minute I saw this cute girl I knew I needed to use it on a Pool Party Summer Card.   There are plenty of this sets at the shop  if you want to add this to your stash, for your Summer cards.... CARD DETAILS: I wanted to create a pool background for the girl to be floating, so I found this technique in youtube let me share it with you because in my opinion it makes a very cool water look. I started with a background fully colored with Distress Oxide Ink Peacock Feathers  (which is my new favorite) after that I used a crumpled ball of Aluminium Foil I sprayed with water and pat down the paper with it to add the water texture to the background, and dry it with a  Heat Tool . I did the second background with two of my favorite Oxide Ink summer colors  Fossilized Amber  and  Worn Lipstick ...
