A Birdie Christmas

Well Hello! Today I am sharing a super quick and easy card with you. I am a big believer in simple and quick sometimes. I find myself more often going the long way around a card rather than keeping it easy. One good way is to use a sketch! Did you know that many manufacturers will post challenges to inspire their customers. My Favorite Things is no different. I used one of their past sketches to make this card.

So let's get to how I made it.

I created a card base and cut a small piece of cardstock from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad and adhered it to the card. I stamped the images from the My Favorite Things Tweet Holiday set with Gina K Amalgam ink. I then colored them with copic markers and using the coordinating Tweet Holiday Dies, cut the images out. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on a strip of white cardstock and adhered it to the card. I then adhered the cute birdies and holly to the card using thin foam adhesive. Using my Lawn Fawn Glue Tube I adhered mini pompoms to the top of the hats of the cute birds. To add details to the card I added dots to the scarf with my Signo uniball white gel pen. I finished it off by adding Kaisercraft red pearls to the holly.

Here is a closer look of those great pompoms!! So much fun. It just adds a fun touch don't ya think?!

I hope you enjoy your day and I'll see you next 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 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

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
