March Mood Board

Hello there! Amanda here today to share this month's mood board! I am not much of a pastel fan and because of that these boards I put together tend to be bold and rich colors. I think the early spring blooms and sunshine has me feeling quite the opposite right now!

Pale Cyan, Soft Pink, Jasmine, Robin Egg Blue

 And here's the layout it inspired!

Have you ever scraplifted yourself!? That's actually what I did here from this layout. I occasionally do some digital scrapbooking and when I do I always find myself loving the designs and wanting to duplicate it with paper. Especially when it involves triangles. 


I cut a bunch of triangles in various papers and figured out placement. Before gluing them down I moved them aside and added a bit of mist to my background. Most of this was going to be covered up but I still wanted to have that little something extra. After replacing the triangles I used my white embossing paste with one of my (many) triangle stencils.


Once that was dry I added several enamel shapes, my title, die cuts and wood veneers. That little ice cream cone wood veneer from Elle's Studio is too cute! I colored it in with a couple distress markers and then went back over it with a little gesso to soften the colors.

Supplies used: Let's Eat Wood Veneer, Wonder Puffy Stickers, Happy Enamel Dots, Embossing Paste, Documentary Paper Pad, Wonder Paper Pad, B-Side Die Cuts

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my  We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool  for the first time and loved it! I cut my own  Tim Holtz watercolor paper  to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer.  I stamped my sentiments that are by  Lawn Fawn Hello Baby  with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral  Distress Inks  and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron  Distress Inks .  I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things  Snuggle Bunnies  for the girl and Magical Dragons for th

Painting backwards....

Hello, hello!  Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog .  It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink!   Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards.  What do I mean, you wonder?  Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color.     For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks.  You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color.   I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any water based inks w

Hey, hey BRI friends!  We're hopping today to celebrate the 4th Birthday of Altenew , one of our favorite stamping companies!  You should have arrived here from the Altenew blog , and we're glad you're here to share the excitement! There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! With you today, is Norine from The Velvet Lemon  creating for Butterfly Reflections Ink  and I have some projects to share today, that I made using some recently released Altenew products .   First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set .   I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored.   I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush .  I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge, then tore the vel
