Wishing You an Amazing Day with Mama Elephant's Little Pandas

By
Happy Saturday crafters! Danielle here up on the BRI blog today as a guest and I couldn't be more excited!!  I have a fun card to share with you today featuring the new and adorable Mama Elephant Little Panda Agenda!  As soon as I saw this stamp set I knew I had to have it and I knew Vanessa would ship it out super fast because she's awesome!!


This card was a labor of love but I am more than thrilled with the way it turned out!  I first started with an ink blended panel using Distress Ink Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Dried Marigold, and Tattered Rose.  I then adhered my ink blended panel directly on to my black card base.  I had an idea that it would be cute for the pandas to be on bamboo, and I found the HelloBluebird Birch Tree Dies would be perfect! Once I ran the tree dies through my die cutting machine I colored the trees to look like bamboo using copic markers in YG07, YG25, G09 and G94. For the leaves I added some Nuvo Glaze for extra detail.  I used some Lawn Fawn Grassy Border die and ran it through my die cutting machine using 2 different shades of green cardstock.  It's hard to tell but I "weaved" the bamboo in between the grass.  I laid 2 stick of bamboo directly on my ink blended panel and then added the first layer of grass.  I then adhered the remaining bamboo using foam adhesive and added the top layer of grass over the bamboo using foam adhesive as well.


I stamped my cute little pandas using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink pad and ran through my die cutting machine with the matching Mama Elephant Little Panda Agenda coordinating dies  I adhered my pandas in various spots to make it look like they were playing in the bamboo!  For my sentiment, I used one from the Mama Elephant Beach Chickies stamp set and heat embossed using white embossing powder.  I adhered on my card front using foam adhesive.


I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did making it!! And a big thanks for Vanessa at Butterfly Reflections Ink for inviting me to guest!! Make sure you stop by the shop to pick up these goodies!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

By
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....

By
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

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, then tore the vel
