Party like Wild Animals

Good Morning Butterfly Reflections Ink Friends!

Alix here this morning with my Project using some fun techniques.I usually create cards with soft colors. But this time I want to step out of my comfort zone to create a card that is interesting and great for either boys or girls for their birthday. This layout idea came up to my mind quickly.

I created my background with Neat and Tangled Hexastar Stencil, Nuvo mousse in Cornflower blue and Aquamarine, and Ranger Texture Paste in Transparent Gloss. To create this background, I secured my stencil with a little bit washi tape over 110 lbs Cardstock. Then I mixed Nuvo mousse and Texture paste to apply over my stencil. At last, I removed the stencil and let it air dry for 20 minutes. To raise the center part, I cut the center of background using Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle die, then added foam tape to create the raised dimension.

I colored all images from Neat and Tangled Wild ones stamp set with Copic markers.I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of black cardstock from this stamp set with Versamark ink and heat embossed using WOW! white embossing Powder. I hand cut the fishtail stripe for the sentiment. I attached everything using Ranger Multi Medium Matte and some foam tape. In the end, I added some sequins from Neat and Tangled Starry Night Sequin Mix to decor the background.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed it and also are inspired. Happy Cardmaking!

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...
