May All Your Wishes Come True!

Hi, Butterfly Ink-ers!   Kimberly here today,  and I'm so happy to be back this month with a colorful card featuring products from Concord & 9th, Sunny Studio & Altenew!


SUPPLIES

(Coral Berry, Purple Wine, Orange Cream, Parrot, Lagoon, Warm Sunshine, Ocean Waves, Lavender Fields & Midnight Violet)
Iridescent embossing powder

I started by stamping a mandala with multiple colors of Altenew inks - for each ring, I used two colors of ink.   I die cut the finished mandala and then cut it in half and set them aside.   

I die cut the largest mandala into a piece of black cardstock twice so I could get the beautiful edge detail.   To get the color to peek through those detailed holes, I inked my card base with Coral Berry ink to perfectly match the stamped mandala.   I added the die cut black cardstock to the inked card base and adhered the dies into the negative space.


The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.   Again, to perfectly match the card, I used the Coral Berry ink direct to paper and then added some iridescent embossing powder and heat set it.   I die cut the Wishes sentiment from the embossed paper and added a drop shadow by die cutting another sentiment and offsetting it just a bit.

I love how colorful this card is - and that it could be used as a birthday card or even a wedding card!   Such a versatile sentiment!  

Thanks for joining me today - until next time, friends!!

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

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, then tore the vel
