Wicked Halloween!

Hello, everyone!! Laurie here to share a Halloween card with you. First off, let me admit that I am not a fan of Halloween. I know, right??!! Deep down I want to like it but....
However, I did have a blast making this card. I used an actual Halloween stamp set and a not even remotely close to a Halloween set.

This is where my thought process started. I started by going through scraps of cardstock to find halloween colors (that cardstock is actually purple). I used the First Step Stamp Set and Co-ordinating Dies from Waffle Flower.

I then stamped the shoe images again on white cardstock and drew "stockings". I coloured the stripes with my alcohol markers. Can you see where I'm going with this?? :)

To create a custom sentiment for my card, I used the Peek A Boo Stamp Set from The Greeting Farm. I only used the "Have A" and "Halloween" portions of the "Have a Magical Halloween" sentiment. For the custom part of the sentiment I used the Sophisticated Script Stamp Set from Concord and 9th.

I created a black frame using Wonky Stitched Rectangles from My Favourite Things and put my card together. I added Matte Black Enamel Dots and stamped some stars in purple ink. As you can see, I did make some color changes to the bows, using green and orange cardstock and the paper piecing technique. And witch shoes aren't complete without a little sparkle, right?? I added a TON of Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen and Glossy Accents to finish them off.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! Have a "wicked" 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...

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...
