Color Layering Seahorses

Hi there, crafty friends!   Kimberly here with you today to share some cards using one of Hero Arts' fun new layering stamp sets!  I love layering sets.....they're such fun to use and experimenting with different colors is half the fun!


SUPPLIES


I created a shaker card with the MFT Pierced Circle die, some acetate and microbeads I found in my stash!   I stamped and heat embossed some of the shells onto my backer piece. I stamped the seashell and seahorse and fussy cut them out and added them to the edge of the shaker element.   

I prepared the card base by cutting a piece of paper from the MFT paper pad down to 4.25' x 5.5' and added Distress Ink to the edges.   I spritzed on some water to add to the ocean-feel of the card.    I adhered my shaker element  to the card base and added some of the fun new Nuvo drops Vanessa has in the store!  



I stamped the sentiment, also from the Color Layering Seahorses stamp set, onto another piece of patterned paper from the MFT 6x6 pad - it fit absolutely perfectly!   I trimmed the strip and added it to the card base.

For card #2, I wanted to play with the colors Amanda chose for this month's BRI Mood Board.  Aren't they yummy?!?!


I fussy cut another stamped seahorse and added some Glossy Accents to create a shiny focal point for my card.   This one was super simple to put together - I used the same patterned paper,  cardstock and Nuvo drops! 


I hope you've enjoyed my cards today.   Be sure to check out the Mood Board and play along - these are colors I probably wouldn't have worked with otherwise, and I love how it turned out!    See you all next week!  :)

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...

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 wate...

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

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...
