Cookies & Milk - You're So Sweet

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog! We are so happy you stopped by!

Today, I'm sharing a super "sweet" card with you using the Reverse Confetti Cookies and Milk Stamp Set.

I started with the Lawn Fawn Foursquare Backdrop Landscape Die and cut the 2 bottom windows to create 1 larger window.

To create some grass for my windows, I used the Trinity Stamps Slimline Card Series: Scenic Border Dies. I colored them with Mowed Lawn, Shabby Shutters, and Bundled Sage Distress Inks and Oxides.

On my card base, I used Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide and spritzed it with water to create some water droplets.

I stamped all my Cookies and Milk images with Hero Arts Intensified Black ink and then colored my images with Copic markers.

For my sentiment, I stamped them with Versamark Watermark Ink and then used white Wow! Embossing Powder over top. I melted the embossing powder with my heat tool and then cut the sentiments down with a paper trimmer.

I adhered all of my elements that I wanted to be in the foreground with 3D foam adhesives. For any elements I wanted in the background, such as the tree, I used liquid glue.

I love the dimension of this card! I also love the way the Foursquare backdrop creates little mini scenes.

Here is one final photo of the finished card!

Thank you again for stopping by the blog! I'll be back next week with another fun creation! Xoxo, Amanda

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool for the first time and loved it! I cut my own Tim Holtz watercolor paper to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer. I stamped my sentiments that are by Lawn Fawn Hello Baby with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks . I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things...

Painting backwards....

Hello, hello! Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog . It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink! Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards. What do I mean, you wonder? Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color. For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks. You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color. I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any wate...

First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set . I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored. I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush . I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge...
