Galaxy card with Annemarijn

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm back on the blog with a galaxy themed card. I love making galaxy's, first I mostly made them with watercolor but now I use distress oxide to make it. I'm going to tell you how I made this card!


I started with making the background for the galaxy background. I always choose some cute distress oxide colors like pink/purple/orange/yellow whatever you like and this time I choose picked raspberry, wilted violet, squeezed lemonade and cracked pistachio. I just blend it a bit random with my ink blending tool and then I blend some blueprint sketch on top and just on the edges a little bit of black soot. Now the ink blending part is done I platter some water on top, some white watercolor for the stars and some liquid stardust for some extra sparkle. I also splattered white watercolor on some black cardstock for the background behind the flaps and let everything dry.


Next I stamped al my images lawn fawn stamp sets out of this world and super star. And colored them with copic markers. Next I cut everything and the galaxy background I cut with the lift flap grid. Next I adhered everything together with glue tube and foam squares. I stamped the sentiment with embossing ink in my misti stamping tool but first I used my powder tool so the embossing powder doesn't stick on the paper where I don't want it. For the 'super stars' I used something different than just white embossing powder. I used glow in the dark embossing powder! And look what a cool effect that gives when it's dark.


I hope you like my card from this week and see you soon with another card! Enjoy your week :)

Lots of love,
Annemarijn

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

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
