Penguins' Happy Holiday Wishes

Hello Everyone!
Alix here showing you a holiday shaker card that I made to inspire you into the wonderful holiday seasons! Just remember, it's never too early to prepare your holiday cards.

To begin with this card, I copic colored all images  from Pretty Pink Posh Elegant Holly and Penguin Pals Stamp sets and die cut them with their coordinating dies ( For Elegant Holly/For Penguin Pals ). 


To create the background, I ink blended with Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in Candied Apple onto an A2 sized watercolor paper. I splattered water and quickly removed all liquid with paper towel to create distress look. Once it's dry, I started to create my shaker window. I cut the ornament frame using  Pretty Pink Posh Ornament Shaker Die and hand cut the inner script part off. Then I attached a piece of acetate paper right underneath of window opening. I poured lots of Pretty Pink Posh Berry Bright Confetti Mix onto the background and sealed shaker window with Foam Strips.



I arranged colored images onto the front panel. I stamped the sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Greetings Stamp set using Verafine Oynx Black ink to the bottom part of panel. Ta Da! A cute holiday card is finished!


I hope you all like this card and be sure to head out to Butterfly Reflections Ink Shop to grab some goodies that you liked! I will see you around another time! Wink Wink...

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...

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...
