Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello, lovelies!  Toni here with you sharing some of my favorite types of images--gnomes and fairies! I started my card by airbrushing Copics through a stencil. I love the dreamy effect. The Lawn Fawn Mushroom House nestles perfectly in the scene with the walkway. I diecut the mushroom cap out of Doodlebug Design French Kiss paper . Those tiny tiny hearts are adorable. Next I stamped the Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome and Mama Elephant Little Fairy Agenda images with Memento Tuxedo Black . I colored them up using mostly the same Copics I had used with the stencil. I add a bit of Copic shading here and there on the background as well btw. Final touches included stamping the Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black and adding Clear Wink of Stella to the fairy wings. Sparkle on, little fairies! For a full list of ingredients and to see my other creations, you can check out my blog, Frankie Helps Craft .  Have a great week!

Greetings, my lovelies! Toni here with another holiday card. The New Year's resolution is intact! For today's card I started by laying out the fun wintery scene using MFT Snow Special and MFT Happy Christmas . I embossed the background using a Sizzix embossing folder. I decided to use lots of Distress Oxide Mustard Seed yellow as it's always so gloomy here in the Pacific Northwest at the holidays. Yellow definitely is a pick-me-up color! I chose coordinating colors in Copics to color the images I had stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black . Once colored, I used Wink of Stella Clear to add shimmer to the icy elements. That little bit of shine is so pretty! Feel free to check out my blog, Frankie Helps Craft , to see my other creations.  In the meantime, hope you have a sunny day and I'll see you next week!

Well hello!  So glad to be here with you today.  I have to say I am loving fall.  It finally feels like fall here in AZ.  We've been getting a lot of rain and just beautiful weather here.  So I wanted to dig into my stash of favorite stamps that have a fall theme.  I grabbed some of the good ones.  These sets are both from Lawn Fawn but they are so great!  Here is what I made with them: I love these two sets.  One is Thanks a Bushel and the other is Cutie Pie .  So great for fall.  Here is how I made it.  First, I cut a square from patterned paper and adhere it to a square card front.  I stamped the images with Gina K. Amalgam Ink and then colored them with copics.  I then used the coordinating dies for Cutie Pie and Thanks a Bushel and cut them out.  Next I used a square die cut and adhered it to the patterned paper.  Using foam adhesive, I adhered the images to the card front.  I then st...

Well hey there!  Super excited to be back this Tuesday.  Things are finally settling down here for me in AZ.  Especially the cooler temps!  WOO HOO!  Today's card is a scene I've been wanting to make for awhile.  I finally sat down and got it done.  Yay! To make the scene I first used Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides and blended the background.  I then die cut it from the stitched from Lawn Fawn and adhered it to the card front.  I then stamped the images from the You Are Sublime set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  After coloring them with Copic Markers, I die cut them with the matching You Are Sublime Lawn Cuts .  Next, I put adhered each image to the scene with foam adhesive and runner adhesive.  I then stamped the sentiment onto the card.   To add detail I used a White Gelly Roll pen to add dots to the fish and lines to the eel.  I also added Clear Wink of Stella to the ee...

YAY!  So happy to be back with you all today!  Today I am going to share with you a card that I absolutely love.   So this Thanks A Latte set from Lawn Fawn is perfect!  Truly.  I loved that it has a cocoa sentiment as I inhale cocoa.  I love it.  I am an addict.  After seeing this set, I happily set to work on this card. I started by cutting the cute patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn 6x6 Knit Picky Fall paper pad  down to fit my A2 card base and adhered it to the card.  I die cut the Lacy Heart  from white cardstock.  Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink I stamped the images, colored the mug, contents and marshmallows (aren't they the cutest!) with Copic markers.  After die cutting them out with the matching dies , I took another piece of patterned paper, stamped and cut out the scarf and adhered it to the mug.  Then I began to assemble the rest of the card.  I adhered the mug to the hear...

Hey there!  Ashley Harris  here!  Super excited to be here with you for my first Design Team post at Butterfly Reflections.  I try to be conservative with my exclamations, but it may be hard being on this team.  To be a part of such a great team is exclamation worthy for sure. My first card is a fall card.  It is hard to imagine fall coming as it is still reaching 108 degree temperatures here in AZ.  Thankfully there are cute stamps that put you in the mood.  That and a fan turned on full blast in your crafting space.   Today's card features the Sunny Studio Stamps Fall Kiddos stamp set.  I love this stamp set so much! To make this card I took a 4 x 5 1/4 inch panel of white cardstock and masked it off and went to town with my Distress Oxide inks in Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn .  I adhered the panel to an A2 card base.  I then stamped these super cute Fall Kiddos in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the...

Hi, it's Mona here! For today I created a colorful card with Heffy Doodle products. These stamps are absolutely cute so I mixed the Elephant of Surprise and Geology Rocks stamp sets, for the gem land look! :)  First I created the gem hill with lots of masking, using the  Geology Rocks  stamp set, then I colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it. After this I colored the elephant from the  Elephant of Surprise  stamp by using warm toned greys Copic markers. The background is made with  Peacock Feathers  and  Blueprint Sketch  distress oxide inks. Finally I heat embossed the sentiment with  Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder . Thanks for stopping, see you next time. Love, Mona

Hi, it's Mona here! Yesterday was Mother's Day in Slovakia, so I made a sweet card for this occasion. I created my card with non Mother's Days themed Lawn Fawn stamps.  First I made the background with Puffy Cloud Borders Lawn Cuts and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink. Instead of using a 2nd piece of paper cloud I made a glittery shimmery part with Chunky Glitter and Glossy Accents . Maybe it's not so visible on the photos, but in live it looks like a glitter epoxy! :) To the center I made a small circle with Outside In Stitched Circle Stackables Lawn Cuts and Outside In Stitched Scalloped Circle Stackables . The "MOM" alphas are leftovers from Speech Bubbles Lawn Cuts .  Now it was time to stamp my images from Sweet Friends , Baked with Love , Happy Village and Easter Party Lawn Fawn stamp sets and fussy cut them. After coloring the "mom" and "children", I glued to their back their legs and arms from Sweet Friends stamp s...

Hi friends!!  It has been a little while since I've been on the BRI blog since my term ended in the summer of last year - first I can't believe that saying "last year" referring to 2017 has happened!  So crazy!!  Hope you all had a wonderful and joyous holiday season!!  OK - back to my post for today - I wanted to create something for what seems natural for the next holiday - which is Valentine's Day.  That is also crazy - time is super flying by!!  As soon as I saw the Valentine release from Lawn Fawn, I knew that a lot of it I wanted, and happy that I am able to share a project using some of those goodies today. First - I die cut a  scallop square tag  from Pretty Pink Posh and I stamped out the jar image from  How You Bean?  stamp set with my Jet Black ink from Lawn Fawn - this ink is Copic Marker friendly.  Then, I stamped the Conversation Hearts from the Add-on stamp set . From there, I just randomly chose soft colors...

Hi all! Happy Saturday!   Kari  with you today to share this card featuring the adorable Pure Innocence girl from My Favorite Things, and she's all about feeling the Fall Season and eating her apples!  I love this little set!  Not only it is a great set for Fall themed cards, but for Teachers as well!! I couldn't wait to ink her up and color her with my Copic markers!  I even got ambitious and paper- pieced her little jacket!!  I started out this card by die cutting a white card stock circle from the Lawn Fawn Fancy Scallop Circles dies, and stamped my main image from the MFT set  Love You To The Core , and inked it up using my favorite black ink for Copic coloring - Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink.  I did some super duper easy coloring, and then stamped this image again  - once for my mask that I will use later, and again onto a piece of pattern paper for the jacket portion of the image.  I carefully used my detail scissors to cut o...

Hello and welcome to Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is Tanya from Studio 5380 and I'm glad you're here. Today is my last post (insert sad face here) as part of the Butterfly Reflections Ink Design Team.  I have had such a wonderful time as part of this fabulously talented Design Team and hate to see it end. I couldn't let my term end without a card for the wonderful lady behind the scenes.  Vanessa, you have been awesome and I appreciate all you do!  From your lightning fast shipping to your kind-hearted generosity, you're the best.... This bright, happy card was so much fun to make! I started with a white background cut from the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies by My Favorite Things.  I inked up my background with some Salty Ocean Distress Ink and the Cloud Stencil from MFT.  After inking up the clouds, I cut a window in my background with the My Favorite Things die, Square Peek-a-Boo Window . Next, I stamped and colored a few of thes...

Hello everyone and welcome to Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is Tanya from Studio 5380 and I have a super fun box card to share with you today: I have been itching to play with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set and finally got my chance.  This was..sooo...much...fun!  This die set is awesome and makes putting this box card together so fast and simple.  I see many more of these in my crafty future because the creative possibilities are endless! After creating my  box card, I went a little nuts with adorable Lawn Fawn critters!  I used several stamp and die sets including: Wild For You Stamp Set and Wild For You Lawn Cuts Bicycle Built For You Stamp Set and Bicycle Built For You Lawn Cuts Little Bundle Stamp Set and Little Bundle Lawn Cuts Party Animal Stamp Set and Party Animal Lawn Cuts Palm Trees Lawn Cuts My images were colored with Copic Markers and I added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella Glitter...

Hi friends!  Kari  with you today sharing this pair of rainbow cards featuring the  Cloud Stencil  from MFT.  This stencil has quickly becoming one of my favorite stencils for sky backgrounds, or creating colorful backgrounds like these.  I love clouds...and I love rainbow, so I thought I would combine the two.  They are so easy to put together, so that is why I created a pair, but you could easily make these assembly line style and have a whole bunch ready to go, and all you would need to do is add different sentiments. I created these cards with the  Thanks Hello  die ( which is on sale currently in the shop).  You could turn these into any kind of occasion like birthday, thinking of you, even sympathy. I used several colors of Distress Inks - Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, Scattered Straw, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron, Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, and Wilted Violet. I did do a ...

Hello and welcome to Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is Tanya from Studio 5380 here to share a sparkly shaker card with you... I absolutely love this stamp set from Neat and Tangled!  It's called You're A Gem and there is a coordinating  die set available which always makes creating your project a little easier and faster. After coloring and die cutting these fun gems, I gave them all a bit of shimmer with a Clear Wink of Stella Brush Marker.   I love all the sparkle! After creating the shaker portion of my card, I added lots of fun colored sequins.  I used several sequin mixes from Neat and Tangled including:  Pixie Dust , Peacock Feather and Mermaid Tail. To add a little more dimension, I used Scotch Foam Mounting Tape to add my sparkly gems to my card base.   This was such a fun card to put together.  Thanks so much for letting me share it with you today!  Have a great day and I'll see you soon.

Aloha, and welcome to Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is Tanya from Studio 5380 with a bright, happy card to share with you today: Aren't these colors fabulous? I created my card background with some beautiful Distress Inks in the following colors:  Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin.   After blending my inks with a Mini Ink Blending Tool I spritzed the background with a bit of water. This spunky little pineapple is from the Lawn Fawn stamp set "Aloha".   I colored her with my Copic Markers then used the Aloha Lawn Cuts to die cut my image. To give this cutie some cool shades, I inked up some white cardstock with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink before stamping the shades from the Aloha stamp set.  Die cutting the shades with the coordinating dies created that fun, hot pink edge!  I used the Scripty Aloha Lawn Cuts die to cut out the word "aloha" 3 times and adhered the layers together before addin...
