Halloween card inspired by October mood board

 


Hi friends!  I’m back with another mood board inspired card!  This cute scene shows an adorable fox who dropped his broom and bag of candy because he was spooked by a ghost!  

My card features a shaker window behind the word “boo” and a couple of jewels to look like candy.  The colors were inspired by the mood board below.



To start, I first masked off the moon and then ink blended a sky using the following distress oxide inks (top to bottom): seedless preserves, ripe persimmon and mustard seed.  Next, I splatted the background with some water.  Then I used the grassy stencil and distress oxide ink colors in pine needles and peeled paint to blend the grass. The panel was cut using the outside in largest stitched rectangle die.  The word “boo” was cut using Finley’s ABC die.  I saved the inside pieces of the letters so I could glue them into the missing areas later.  

Acetate sheet was glued to the back of the panel and double sided foam tape added to the edges to create a shaker.  Pretty pink posh glossy black jewels and black sequins used to fill my shaker.  The background paper is from the really rainbow 6x6 paper pack.  The missing pieces to the letters were glued on at the end.  


Images from happy haunting, fox costumes before'n afters, pick of the patch, costume party and spooky village were stamped using black ink and colored with copic markers.  I stamped the ghost on vellum using black stazon ink and cut it using the coordinating dies.  The images were glued into the card and white gel pen was used for accents.  Lastly, I added colorful jewels to my card to resemble candy spilling out from the treat bag.  


Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you found inspiration in this month's mood board colors!

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...
