Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hi crafty friends! I am so excited to share this card for a sweet friend made with the cutest squishy  bitty bears from MFT !  I colored the bears with Copic markers (listed below) and I had to give a nod to Harry Potter with that Gryffindor scarf! After cutting the bears out with the coordinating dies , I stamped out the trees from MFT's Modern Trees with Lawn Fawn inks ( artichoke , cilantro , pumpkin spice , chili pepper , sunflower , and walnut ) and cut out the trees with coordinating dies . I cut out grass pieces using landscape dies from Mama Elephant , ink blended them with Distress Inks (crushed olive and mowed lawn), and splattered with mowed lawn Distress Ink. I created an autumnal sky with Distress inks (scattered straw, spiced marmalade, abandoned coral) and splattered carved pumpkin Distress Ink onto the sky. You can definitely achieve the same effect using Distress Oxide Inks as well. I stamped out the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink  (my favorite ink for s

 Hi Crafty Friends! My name is Stephanie and today I'm sharing my first card on the blog! I just love making fall cards so for today's card, I used Lawn Fawn's Let's Go Nuts , The S'more the Merrier and Really High Five  stamp sets.  To start, I used Broken China Distress Oxide for the sky and My Favorite Things Grassy Fields diecut to set the scene.

I used Lawn Fawn's Let's Toast Pull Tab  to make him jump up and down. Using this interactive die is so easy, I definitely recommend trying it if you haven't yet! I used Copics to

Hello, I can't believe it but this is already my last official post for the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog. I hope I was able to inspire you these past four months and I want to thank Vanessa for the opportunity and wish the new design team the best of luck and a lot of fun. For today's card I'm going with a fall themed card. It's almost September and I'm starting to see some signs that fall is near. I grabbed my flippin' awesome die, because I hardly ever use it and it's so much fun. I created little mini scenes of squirrels. On the first flap the squirrel is slowly watching the trees  go from green to orange. Then as soon as they start to fall off, he gets his buddy to get ready for winter. While one is gathering acorns, the other is raking the leaves into a giant pile. On the last flap you see one squirrel jumping out of the pile of leaves and you see the sentiment happy fall as the other squirrel walks away with a huge pile of acorns. I really lov
