Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello! Samantha here, and today I'm sharing a FUN layout...hold on to your knickers, there's a TON of mixed media and painty goodness! Ha! I used about a million goodies from the shop, and don't forget: there's a  Spring Fling  section and a  Stamp + Die  section - all on SALE! So let's get into the nitty-gritty here: I started with a 12x12 piece of cardstock, then added gesso . Once that was dry, I added lots of Dina Wakely Media Paint to create the ombre background! Then I used a heart stencil and some sandy colored paint to add a layer of hearts! Once that was dry I added some text with a stencil and embossing paste ! and then I watercolored with my Gansai watercolors ON TOP OF THAT in my favorite color EVER - Aqua !!  Ok - whew! Are you still with me? Ha! I did lots of layering with various papers from 6x6 scraps I had on my desk, and ephemera! Mostly I used puffy stickers , leatherette stickers and other embellishments from the Pinkf...

Hello there! Samantha here! I'm so excited to share my latest layout with you!

Then I used lots of papers from the 6x6 Journey paper pad ! I used it to matte my photo, and also to add strips under part of the title. I also used lots of those acetate triangles from Pinkfresh Studio - they come out with the BEST new products!! I added some of the cloud and heart piffy stickers from the October Afternoon Summertime collection! Love puffy stickers!! The 'mountain' word of the title actually started out as white Thickers , but I used my grey copic markers to make them grey stripes! So fun, right?! Under the title, I also stamped the date in my FAVORITE roller date stamp (which j...

Hello friends! Thank you for taking some time out of your day to visit the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog. We are so happy you are here! I am Janette , and today I bring you a card that features the newly released Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens . They do indeed sparkle, they are scrumptious! Raise your hand if you are all about the adult coloring book craze currently sweeping the nation? My hand is sky high and I believe instead of letting those colored pages hide inside a book, we should give them life. All that glitz is hard to capture on film or rather, in pixels, so I've included several shots. Rest assured, it is spectacular!    This flower is from the Tula Pink coloring book. I began by copying it onto a heavy weight card stock. Often the paper found in color books is not suitable for wet mediums, so if you favor one of those techniques, I highly recommend you copy the design onto paper that is. Next, I used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens in Pink Garnet an...
