Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hi, hi, hello!  Erica here with my first blog post as part of the Butterfly Reflection Inks design team! I’m so thrilled to be part of this team and hope to be a great source of inspiration and enabling you a lot along the way. A big thank you to Vanessa for giving me this chance!  I’m going to dive right in with my post as it’s a rather big one. Sorry about that, but when you get excited in the craft room and are on a roll, there is no reason for stopping it. Or at least that’s my motto.  One thing I really like doing, and I will mostly definitely be guilty of this for my BRI blog posts, is using the same stamp set but make very different cards. I think it is so much fun to see just how different a few cards can look just by changing the colour scheme, the medium with which we colour an image with or a few different techniques used to make the actual cards. I personally LOVE heat embossing and use it a lot. Like a lot-a lot. In fact, I have done it on a...

Hi there friends! Crysta l here today with a simple card featuring Concord & 9th, Altenew & Pretty Pink Posh.  The colors on this card were an inspiration from this week's Flag day. I recently purchased A ltenew Artist Markers Set A as I loved the brush tip on them, and the colors are perfect for color layering and blending. So with this in mind, I select Concord & 9th Hello Lovely image to color! To make this, I stamped the Concord & 9th Hello Lovely floral & sentiment on to a white piece of card stock using Altenew Ink in Jet Black . The entire floral piece was colored with Altenew Artist Marker Set.  Next, I added gold thread and gorgeous Metallic Gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh . To finish the card I placed it on red card stock and added details with a white Signo pen.   This card is ready to be sent out, I loved how bold the colors are, and yet it turned out elegant. Thanks for stopping by today! Crystal 

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...
