Under the Sea Card

Happy Saturday, BRI friends!

It's Dana here from Dana G.Crafts and I'm so happy to be guesting for BRI blog today with under the sea themed card.

For today's card, I started by stamping cute images from Studio Katia Under the Sea Stamp Set and Mermaid For Each Other Stamp Set with MFT Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I colored them with alcohol markers and die cut all pieces using each coordinating die set.

Next, I pulled out cold pressed watercolor paper and watercolored it with Gansai Tambi Watercolor 36 Color Set for background. Then, I die cut shaker window using Studio Katia Seashell Shaker from watercolor panel and a piece of silver glitter paper.

I adhered clear acetate behind the shaker window and mounted silver glitter frame as shown. I then built a shaker using foam adhesive. For shaker elements, I mixed Studio Katia Sparkling Sea Confetti, March Crystals, Flowers Chunky Confetti Glitter.

After I finished a shaker, I stamped sentiment from Studio Katia Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and mounted all colored pieces using glue tape and foam adhesive as shown in the picture. I also stamped tiny bubbles from Studio Katia Under the Sea Stamp Set with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feather Distress Oxide Inks.

To finish, I adhered sparkling details to mermaid taile and starfish using Spectrum Noir Sprakle Pen, sea background using Studio Katia Just Chuncky Confetti Glitter and Ranger Multi Medium Matte.

Thank you So much for joining me today. Happy crafting!

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...
