Video Tutorial - Pinkfresh Studio - Watercoloring a magical card

Hi everyone! :)  I hope you are having a wonderful week!  I'm here for Butterfly Reflections, Ink with a fun and magical watercolor card.  I created a video tutorial to show how  I made the card and you can see that here:
(To view on YouTube, click HERE)

And here are some pictures of my card:




To create this card, I first created the background.  I painted some pink and blue paints from my Gansai Tambi 36 Color Watercolor Set.  I then used my Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Paints to coat the cardstock (after it's dry) with a gold shimmer.  I then stamped the beautiful unicorn from the Unicorn Dreams Stamp Set from Pinkfresh Studio onto watercolor paper and the used my Gansai Tambi 36 Color Watercolor Set to paint a faint pink hue to the image.  I then used my Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Paints to coat the image (after it's dry) with a gold shimmer.  I then cut the unicorn out using the coordinating Unicorn Dreams Fresh Die Set to cut the unicorn out.  I then adhered my unicorn to my watercolor panel using foam tape.  The gold foil paper that I added came from my stash.  I heat embossed the sentiment, also from the Unicorn Dreams Stamp Set from Pinkfresh Studio, with gold embossing powder directly onto the watercolor panel.  I then adhered the panel to an A2 sized card base using foam tape.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Huge hugs!!

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...

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...
