Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello there! Samantha here and today I'm sharing a layout that makes me smile! Ha! it's my hubs and my biggest little Mann, and they're working hard for the money! :) My husband loves woodworking, and both my littles just love helping him out! But boy does that sawdust get EVERYWHERE! ha! Ok, to the layout - I started by adding a light layer of gesso to the patterned paper. Once that was dry, I added some Pixie Paint by Cosmo Cricket to some water that I spritzed onto the paper. Hello FUN!! Ha! I set that aside to dry and started working on the layering my photos!

Hello, Butterfly Reflection, Ink friends! What better way to start off the new week with a new BRI project!   I have always used treat bags for...well, treats! But the idea came  to me to turn it into an envelope for a card.     I love that the glitter stars add so much texture to a simple treat bag. A simple paper banner is added to the bag to act as a closure. A simple sentiment is stamped on the bottom of the banner.  To finish the envelope, I added a couple different embellishments (the heart and the enamel dots).   Supplies from the BRI shop : Cosmo Cricket- Treat Bags My Mind's Eye - Enamel Dots and Mildred Paper Pad Waffle Flower Crafts - Bowtiful Stamp Set Heidi Swapp - Clear Heart Embellishments   Have a wonderful day!

It's hard to see, but its a spider web.  I wanted to match the bag with some of the paper so I tool the Stars from the Lawn Fawn - Spooktacular set and inked it up in some Versamark Ink (my favorite for embossing) and used the Ranger Holographic Embossing Powder.  Then I colored up the cute kitt...
