Thank you for Being You

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends! Julianne here sharing two cards using the Stamping Bella Curvy Girl with a Heart Wreath. Can you believe it's already July? Time is just flying by, and our moving date is just getting closer and closer. So many people have been so supportive in us buying our first home so I wanted to make some thank you cards to show my appreciation. Just a heads up, Butterfly Reflections, Ink is having a 4th of July sale going on till July 7th where you get 15% off your order with code VACAY15. Make sure to head on over and grab all those wish list items, I know I will.

I love the Stamping Bella curvy girl collection, I think the illustrations are just so cute. I started out by stamping the image in VersaFine Black Ink and clear heat embossing while the ink was still wet. This is one of my favorite inks and because it stays wet much longer than most so it's perfect for clear heat embossing. Last week I shared a card on IG where I made two cards, one only using my warm grays and the other with bright colors. I really wanted to try that again cause I loved the results.

The first girl I colored only using my warm gray copic markers: W00, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, W7, W8. Using the different shades to make certain parts darker than others to give some nice contrast. For the second card I decided I wanted the do yellows and reds, I just love the flowers in the wreath.

Once all my coloring was finished I started working on my background. I wanted a pop of color in the background for both, using Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks I blended a section of each background. Finally I added in the 'Thank you for being you' sentiment that comes with the stamp set and added a few yellow and silver sequins. Thank you all so much for stopping by to check out my cards, I truly appreciate it. Make sure to check out all the great inspiration from the rest of the design team while your here. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe 4th of July, I'm sure I will take my day off to crafty :)

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...

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...
