Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so happy to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog. Today, I'm sharing what I like to call an "overloaded" card - I built a scene, and then kept adding critters, and critters, and more critters, until the scene was completely overloaded! I probably could have cut out half of the images, and the card would have been just fine. Oh well - at least there's a lot to look at! I started by building the background scene.

Hi Crafty friends! Tammy here with a bright and cheerful card, sure to brighten someone's day! My slimline design, featuring Lawn Fawn , was inspired by the lovely April Mood Board. To begin, I cut a rectangular panel of Bristol smooth cardstock, using the Trinity Stamps Slimline Card Panels . I also cut a white scalloped border using the die set. Using the Cloudy Stencil , I created my sherbet colored cloudy sky by inking Distress Oxides in Shaded Lilac , Picked Raspberry,   Dried Marigold , and Squeezed Lemonade .

I added highlights to my colored images with a White Glaze Jelly Roll Pen  and used the coordinating Dandy Day Lawn Cuts  to cut them out. ...

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog. Silvia's here today sharing a Lawn Fawn Spring themed card with you. I started die cutting two stitched rectangles from white cardstock with Heffy Doodle "Imperial Stitched Rectangles" die. I ink blended the first one on top with scattered straw , tumbled glass and broken china Distress Oxide inks and I splattered with clean water and loosened inks. I die cutting the second one using "Stitched Hillside Borders" die and I put them aside. I then die cut all the pieces to build up the  "Mushroom House"  and I colored them with a mix of Distress Oxide inks and alcohol markers. I also die cut a grassy border with Hello Bluebird  "Grassy Knoll"  dies, I ink blended it with  twisted citron  and  mowed lawn  Distress Oxide inks and I glued on my base with the mushroom house. I decided to create a soft look for my background, so I die cut a 4 1/4" x 5 ...
