Trick or Treat!

Image
By
Happy Halloween, friends!   Kimberly here today to share a fun Halloween card using lots of supplies found in the BRI shop.   Most everything I used on this card can be used for non-Halloween cards as well - bonus!
SUPPLIES
Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid 6x6 Paper pad
Lawn Fawn Trick or Treat Stamp Set
Dylusions White Paint Pen Distress Ink 
Copic Markers

To create my background, I used Distress Inks to blend a night sky and added some stars with a Dylusions white paint pen.   I stamped the sentiment from Trick or Treat with Versamark and heat embossed it with white EP.    I die cut the tree borders from several colors of dark cardstock and adhered them to my background piece.   I colored the elements in with Copic markers (owl from Jump for Joy, bat from Trick or Treat, hat from Hats Off to You).   
I mounted my panel to several colors of solid cardstock before adhering it to a piece of plaid paper from the Perfectly Plaid Fall 6x6 paper pad.
I thought the bat stealing the owl's Halloween costume fit perfectly with the "trick" or treat sentiment!!!   

I hope you have a fabulous Halloween!   My kids are getting older and my son says he isn't going trick-or-treating tonight - but we shall see.   I think his need for candy will win out and he will be scrounging to put together a costume tonight at the last minute!   In either case, I'll be enjoying passing out candy to the neighborhood kids, and having a fire with the neighbors as part of our Halloween tradition!   Whatever you do, enjoy!!!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

By
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....

By
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
