Lawn Fawn - I Love You(Calyptus)

Hello crafty friends and Happy New Year! I am so honored and excited to be joining the amazing Butterfly Reflections Ink Design Team with so many talented ladies! Today I am sharing my first card using the latest Lawn Fawn's I Love You (Calyptus) stamp set and other amazing products from their latest release. Once I saw this adorable Koala I couldn't wait to use it especially with Valentine's Day right around the corner!

To start my card, I ink blended my panel on smooth Bristol paper using Distress Ink Oxides in Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, and Picked Raspberry. Once dried, I then used Lawn Fawn Polka Heart Backdrop Portrait and ran it through my die cutting machine. I removed the little hearts and placed them aside while I glued my ink blended panel to my card base. I decided to place the hearts back in but reversed the colors. I thought this technique gave it more contrast and extra detail.

For my hearts I used Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Heart Stackables Die with their Perfectly Plaid Spring paper. I glued down the larger heart directly to my panel and the smaller heart I adhered using foam adhesive. I stamped the Koala using Altenew Evening Gray Crisp Dye Ink and colored with various Copic Sketch markers. I added some Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter to the smallest heart that the koala is holding. I adhered my koala and the heart using foam adhesive.

To finish off my card, I used the coordinating sentiment which I stamped using Altenew Razzleberry Crisp Dye Ink onto a piece of Lawn Fawn Fake Tan Cardstock. I then added some Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter underneath my sentiment. I adhered my sentiment using foam adhesive to my card panel.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did creating it. Thank you for joining me here today and hope you have a fabulous day!

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
