Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello everyone Alexandra here today sharing with you this fun picnic card that I made using some Lawn Fawn and Mama Elephant products. For my card I started by creating the background , and i was going for a cloudy sky but didn't wanted the traditional colors so I added some purple too To add more details to my card I've used several stamp sets like :  Crazy Antics stamp set  ,  Unicorn picnic stamp set  and  On the beach stamp set  . All the images I've colored using Spectrum Noir markers . While I wanted my scene to be like a picnic at a beach I also added some palm trees from  Mama Elephant Summer days stamp set  and for the sand hill I just partially die cut the hills from  Shadow box card die To add everything to my card I used a combination of liquid glue and foam tape to add some dimension . Thank you so much for stopping by today , I hope you will be inspired to try this in combining your stamp sets . Have a creative day Alexandra

Hello crafty friends! Today I want to share with you a sweet card featuring two of my favorite critters by Hello Bluebird. I started by cutting a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" white rectangles and I ink blended it with tumbled glass and broken china Distress Oxide inks on top and shabby shutters and evergreen bough Distress Oxide ink on bottom. I splattered with clean water and inks loosened in a drop of water and I let it dry. I then stamped a sentiment from the "Seaside Girls" stamp set and some dandelions from the "Field Mice" stamp set with Versafine black ink  . I stamped images from the "Leaf Play" and "Easter Egg Hunt" stamp set, I colored with alcohol markers and I fussy cut them (you can use the coordinating dies to cut images and you can find them here and here ). I then die cut a white frame using the "Gallery Frame #4" die set and I built up my scene using a mix of liquid glue and foam dots.

For my card today I choose the  Dandelion wishes stamp set  from Mama Elephant and stamped it using My favorite things black hybrid ink and then started coloring the images using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

Stamped the sentiment and a few tiny images using Versa mark ink  and white embossing powder . Now the final step was to add the critters using either foam tape or liquid glue !
