Scent with Love BRI Moodboard inspiration

Hello crafty friends! Davina here, with some January BRI Moodboard color inspiration. Today I’m sharing a shaker card that combines several newer, and older, sets by Lawn Fawn. I’ve been making many more shaker cards than I ever have before, and each has been a different kind/style. I really love the flat mesh ones that I’ve shared, but today, I kept it classic. The colors in this months Moodboard are spun sugar, mauve, butterscotch, and marine blue. I incorporated these colors by creating a skunk filled scene with lots of Valentine’s Day images.

I started by making my snow globe shaker. The new dies are huge, so I dig deep into my stash, and found my Ready Set Snow stamps and dies from years ago. It was the perfect size for a little mail man skunk and some goodies. I stamped out images from Scent with Love , Scent with Love Add on and last years Special Delivery sets, then colored everything up before die cutting with the coordinating dies.

I inkblended the background piece of the snow globe with a blue sky, then layered snow and some happy mail, along with a couple of heart banners. The Heffy Doodle Deep foam tape is the perfect tape for making shaker cards. You don’t have to double it up and it comes in narrow 5mm and a wider 12mm option. I used the narrow tape around the globe and filled with iridescent pink sequins.

I cut a background using the Lawn Fawn stitched windy backdrop. The swirls reminded me of scent swirls. I inked that with dusty pinks that blended into a golden glow yellow. Then, I layered the same golden colored grass and a glittery snowy hill for my cardbase. I adhered my snow globe shaker to the center and surround everything with my colored images. I popped the skunks up with foam tape so they could overlap the globe and added tiny white dot highlights to all of my images.

Finally I added a blue cardstock layer to frame it all up, and adhered it to a card base. It’s always so hard to show how exciting shaker cards are in person. And in a few days when the static calms down, it will shake so beautifully. I hope you find some inspiration for the January Moodboard 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 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

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
