Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello friends, Tina here! This time I have a sweet baby card for you, using the adorable bear from the Mama Elephant Up With Love stamp set.   After stamping this cutie onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, I used my Copic markers for the coloring (B12, B34, E41, E43, E44, E47, E49). Next I die cut two star shapes , one from patterned paper from my stash and the other one from vellum . Before I die cut the vellum I added some double sided adhesive to the back of the sheet for easy assembling later on. To finish the design I also needed to die cut a circle from white Card Stock and three small clouds which I coloured with copics as well. For the base panel I cut the Lawn Fawn Sunburst Backdrop die from a sheet of yellow Card Stock. To create more dimension, I inked up the edges of the panel with Distress Oxide Scattered Straw ink . For some extra sparkle I added splatters of shimmer spray with a small paint brush. I used my Misti to stamp a Clearly Besotted se...

☺️Hey Crafty Friend! It’s Marie , a.k.a @marneymakesart back again to share a simple happy spring time hello card featuring a bunch of my favorite products from my favorite companies!  To create my card, I first start off by die cutting my card base from 110 cardstock using the A2 sized   Large stitch Rectangle Stackables Lawn Cuts Dies . I also cut my  Pattern Paper from My Favorite Things  using the same A2 sized stitched rectangle die. I then used a rounded rectangle die from the  Slim Card Basics Creative Cuts  dies from Mama Elephant to cut out my center opening on my pattern Paper. On my white card base, I inked my background using  Distress Oxide Ink in Salvage Patina. Now for the fun part! I used 3 different stamp sets from My Favorite Things to create my scene. The adorable cat image is from the  Housecats Stamp Set . All the floral images is from the  Spring Gnomes Stampset . Lastly, the adorable little bees 🐝 are from the  " ...

 Happiest Thursday, crafters!!  Heather here with you today and I'm sharing a card that I recently created for my husband!  March 24th was our 21st (wedding) anniversary and, I thought, that required an extra special card! To create this one-of-a-kind interactive card I used Lawn Fawn's *NEW* Platform Pop-Up Lawn Cuts die set!!  So much fun!!  It seems that this die set would be super complicated to use - BUT IT'S NOT!!  The tutorial over on the Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel is SO helpful!  I can't wait to also pick up the special Pop-Up Add-On  Lawn Cuts from the Butterfly Reflections Ink Shop.  It's looks like such a fun way to add elements to this fun pop-up card!  Here is a sneak peek of my card: First things first: I have to confess that I've been hoarding the Pink Paislee/America Crafts "Lucky Us" 6x8 paper pad for the LONGEST TIME!!!!  I just love the fun patterns so much and they're really perfect for a lovey-dovey anniver...

Hi there! Samantha here, and today I have another card inspired by the February Mood Board ! It's just too gorgeous to ignore! It's sooooo pretty! This time, I colored up some of the most adorable unicorns! I stamped and colored all of the images from Fluffy Puffy Unicorns from Heffy Doodle with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I fussy cut out all of the images, but I could have used the c oordinating dies to die cut them out! For the background, I used Fog Cardstock from Lawn Fawn ! I added that amazing sparkle with the Nuvo Glimmer Paste - Moonstone and the Rays the Roof Stencil ! Oh so sparkly! I also added some teeny, tiny sequin stars in gold! Finally, the sentiment was heat embossed in black onto some vellum ! Be sure to play along with this month's Mood Board , too! Thanks so much for spending some of your day with me! ~ Samantha

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with my first card as a DT member for Butterfly Reflections Ink! I am super excited to be part of this amazing team! Today I am sharing a ‘love themed’ project with lots of cute pastel hearts. I started by cutting a white stitched rectangle panel (slightly smaller than A2 size) and divided it into two parts using a scallop border die . The top part of my panel measures about an inch. Then I pulled out my Lawn Fawn stencil ‘Conversation Hearts’ which consists of a heart and a text stencil. I inked up the lower part of the panel with the heart stencil using distress oxides inks in soft pastel shades (Squeezed Lemonade, Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina, Spun Sugar), the Detailed Waffle Flower blending brushes made the blending very easy. These brushes are so small that it wasn’t necessary to do any masking. To get a different look I shifted the stencil, so the hearts are in straight lines. The text was added to the hearts using Kitsch Flamingo distress ox...

Hello friends!  Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate!  Audrey here with another project to share as guest designer for the month of December!  I have a card to share using stamps from another favorite company of mine, Paperie Ink!  To create my card, I started off by stenciling the Watercolor Wash Square Stencil from My Favorite Things onto a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of white cardstock using Distress Oxide inks in Shabby Shutters , Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo.  I stamped images from several Paperie Ink stamp sets , including Santa Baby , Like Christmas , and My Pawliday , and colored them with my Copic markers.  Then, I fussy cut them with my scissors, and arranged my little scene, adhering some elements flat with a glue pen and popping some up for dimension.  Under the scene, I added a strip of striped patterned paper, and a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Offset Sayings Christmas stamp set .  To finish off my card, I added a scattering of Lawn...

Hi there! Samantha here, and today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by the gorgeous winter-y Mood Board for December ! **swoon** such beautiful colors!F For my card I used a combination of Paperie Ink Stamp Sets ! I stamped the images from Snow Good and Ski On and then colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! Once everything was dry, I fussy cut the images out! I used the Stitched Mountain Borders from Lawn Fawn to create the background. I kept the dies all in white, and then placed them on top of a Fog Cardstock card base! I haaaaaad to add some sparkle, so I used the Chunky Glitter from Lawn Fawn and LOVE how that looks on the mountain tops! I also die cut out the banner with vellum , and used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and very lightly added color to the back of the banner! LOVE that ice blue! I heat embossed the sentiment and it was complete! Hope the card made you smile! ~ Samantha

Hello friends! Audrey here! I am back today with my second post as guest designer for December! My card today uses products from Honey Bee Stamps and Lawn Fawn ! To create my card, I started off by diecutting a piece of kraft cardstock, cut to 4" x 5.25" with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflake Backdrop . Then, I used it over completely with Lawn Fawn Yeti Ink , and splattered the background with watered down white acrylic paint. I added a snowy hill by diecutting a piece of white cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hillside dies . I stamped a few images from the Merry Little Mice stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps . colored them with Polychromos colored pencils, and fussy cut them with my scissors. I popped them up on the hillside, and stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Merry Christmouse stamp set onto a banner diecut. I matted the panel with a piece of gingham paper from my stash, and added a snippet under the sentiment too. To finish off my card, I ad...

Hello friends!  Audrey here!  I am thrilled to be returning to the BRI team as guest designer for the month of December!  Today, I have my first card to share with you using the super adorable Merry Little Mice from Honey Bee Stamps!   To create my card, I started off with a piece of kraft cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  With a horizontal orientation, I used the Seasonal Winds stencil from Trinity Stamps with some white pigment ink to add a winter wind to the background.  I inked the edges with both white pigment ink and some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide .  Then, I stamped a few images from the Merry Little Mice stamp set , colored them with my Polychromos colored pencils, and fussy cut them with my scissors.  Before adding them to the panel with foam tape, I stamped each image on the panel so that the mice would have their tails, then used Grit Paste and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter to add crunchy snow underneath the mice and snowman. ...

Hi BRI friends, Sara here! I am back with a new card, inspired by the November BRI Mood Board Challenge . This is a perfect palette for Fall cards and I really love those colors. But, since I am in a more “Christmas mood”, I challenged myself to create something different and use this color combo for a Christmas card…and this is the result!  I love those “Caroling Critters” from Pretty Pink Posh , they are so sweet! I stamped them on a piece of Lawn Fawn Fog cardstock , it’s a light cold grey perfect for my background and then I colored everything with copics. I also hand drew the street lamp on the right, I wanted a cozy scene. Since it is a light colored cardstock, the copic colors are really similar to “reality”, but in this way I didn’t have to add the sky. I only used a darker grey at the bottom, to create the contrast for the bushes. I used a white UNI POSCA pen to create the snow ground and I also added some white snow in the sky. The small snowflakes comes from the Pretty...

 Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm excited to be back on the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog to share a card with you!  My husband celebrated his birthday recently, and I wanted to make him a card with some personalization specific to him. So, I used lots of Lawn Fawn supplies to make a card featuring our three pets! I started by watercolouring the background piece using Distress Oxide inks in Chipped Sapphire , Prize Ribbon , Broken China and Tumbled Glass . I smooshed some ink from each pad onto my work surface and sprayed them with water, and then just pressed the cardstock into the wet ink. I dried the panel using my heat tool, and then repeated this a few more times to get layers of colour. Ink smooshing is one of my favorite tried-and-true techniques for getting an easy watercoloured background! Next I did some die-cutting: first, I die-cut a piece of kraft cardstock (I used Neenah Desert Storm) with the Lawn Fawn Fall Leaves Backdrop die . I brushed some Vintage Photo ...

 Hello crafty friends! It's Amanda from @CaveWitchCrafts ! I'm so excited to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog today with this fun holiday scene inspired by this month's #BRIMoodBoard. I tried to keep it "simple" LOL and only used two stamp sets from Lawn Fawn. Most of the images are from LF set Frosty Fairy Friends , but I also used set Ready, Set, Snow for the adorable snowmen.  I stamped images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink before coloring them and adding white gel pen highlights and LOTS of glitter pen accents. Using the largest die from the LF die set (retired) Small Dotted Rectangle Stackables , I cut out three panels on white cardstock. Each panel will create a different layer of the scene. The first panel will be ink with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide to create a blue sky. The second panel will be cut using LF Die Stitched Hillside Borders to create a snowy bank. The third panel will be stamped using the foliage from Frosty Fairy Friends s...

Hello! Samantha here, and today I'm sharing this fun, summer card featuring a mix of Avery Elle and Lawn Fawn products! Love it! I used the super adorable images from the Flamazing stamp set by Avery Elle ! That little guy just cracks me up! He's so cute! I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! Couldn't be easier! To create the background, I used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn , Twisted Citron and Pine Needles to ink blending starting in one corner. Then, I placed the Tropical Leaves Background Stencil on top, and used the same colors to ink blend through the stencil on top! I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock , and placed it on the side of the card, for a little fun! Hopefully you're enjoying your summer like this swimming flamingo! Enjoy! ~ Samantha
