April Bri Moodboard with Davina

Hello crafty friends! Davina here with some fairy filled color inspiration. The beautiful April Moodboard is a collection of Honeydew, Robins Egg, Passionfruit, and Violet. I’m always so blown away by the monthly Moodboards that Amanda curates each and every month. I love the challenge of creating scenes using these color pallets.

I have impatiently awaited the arrival of the newest Doodlebug Design release. The adorable fairies from the Fairy Gardenstamp set, and the super cute bugs from Fairy Bugs and kisses were a must have me. I also ordered some paper pads and little extras and created this card last night after my package was received. Now I will admit that I strayed from using only colors from the color board on this card. I purchased the cute little mushroom Fairy House Doodle Pop, and couldn’t resist using it even though it was orange and bright pink. So you will see that I added a little bit of orange/yellow and pink to my coloring to help the house blend in.

I cut my paper layers using Lawn Fawn Large and Small Stitched Slimline Dies from Bristol Smooth, Limeade and aqua card stocks. Then I created some grassy layers using Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside borders dies. I inked the edges of all of my layers and splattered with glittery Liquid Stardust.

I stamped my images and colored them with copic markers before cutting out with coordinating dies. Then, after adhering my many layers together with my liquid Glue Tube, I assembled my scene. I tucked some of the images behind my grassy layers, and let a few of them hang over the edge as I always like to do. Then once everything was in place, I highlighted with small white dots.

I heat embossed my sentiment on the bottom watery layer, then mounted the whole thing onto a purple layer of cardstock to frame it all out. I really love these stamps and can’t wait to use them again soon! Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you playing along with the April BRI Moodboard and using the hashtag #brimoodboard on your social media posts. One random winner will receive $20 to the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop.

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...

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...
