Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello everybody, this is Nicky with you again with a new card to share using Happy Hedgehogs by MFT and the Polka Stencil by Neat and Tangled . My card base is constructed of Kraft card stock and a panel of white card stock was stencilled using the Polka Stencil by Neat and Tangled.  I moved the stencil around and using my favorite Clarity Stencil Brushes and Distress Ink I created a layered affect but kept it very delicate.  I then die cut the two edges using a Memory Box border die that I don't see in the shop right now but you could use all number of edging dies found here .   I liked this one because it was a little 'spiky'! I wrapped twine around the card panel several times and then adhered the panel to the base making a sandwich with craft foam for a substantial feel.  I then stamped all my Happy Hedgehog components with Archival Ink and watercolour painted everything using a variety of the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers . These pieces w...

I'm so happy to be back here helping out on the Butterfly Reflections Ink Blog today to present this card to you-it showcases some of my favorite stamps and dies and I hope it makes you smile a bit. Karen B. from The Bald Dragonfly  here. I started this simple scene using the Starry Circle Die-Namic to create a circle in the front of my kraft card base (I'll save the stars for another project). I then die cut some trees from the Birch Tree Die-Namics and adhered them to the back of the front of the card, and then backed those with a sky blue piece of cardstock. Then came the fun part! I stamped and fussy cut a gnome from MFT's You Gnome Me and a hedgie from Happy Hedgehogs . They were colored with zigs . I grounded them with a sentiment banner die cut from the smallest banner from  MFT's Blueprints #27 Die-Namic s. I stamped the sentiment from Honeybee's Smile Stamp Set . Such a sweet, clean and simple scene! Just a reminder that if you see something th...

Good morning everyone! Gladys here and I'm back with another card featuring My Favorite Things new stamp set Happy Hedgehogs . Let's get started!  First I die cut my card panel from watercolor paper then die cut it again using the double stitched rectangle die-namics . I colored the inner panel with broken china, peacock feathers , twisted citron , and mowed lawn distress inks using a blending tool. After I let my panel dry completely I stamped it with the sentiment from the stamp set using VersaMark ink . You want your panel to be dry before putting embossing powder on it otherwise the powder will stick everywhere. Trust me I've done it before and it was a hot mess. If you are impatient like me you can use your heat tool so it dries faster. I stamped and colored my images using copic markers. I adhered foam tape on the back of the hedgehogs, butterflies and the white border frame for dimensio...
