Hi everyone!  It's Christine here for Butterfly Reflections Ink.  I have a new card and video tutorial to share today using the adorable Hey Pumpkin Stamp Set from Honey Bee Stamps.  Here's today's video:

And here are some pictures of my card:

To create this card, I first stamped the image onto Canson XL watercolor paper.  Next, you could definitely cut out a mask and use that on top of your image, but I did not do that.  I found that the Cloud Stencil from My Favorite Things was so easy to work with, I could see through it so I simply placed it over my image and did my inking around the stamped image.  I used Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink for my inking.  I then removed the cloud stencil and did some light water spraying with my distress sprayer.  Next I colored the image with my Zig Markers and my Detailer Water Brush.  I cut the panel down slightly and then stamped the sentiment.  I then adhered the panel to a standard sized A2 card.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thank you so much as always for stopping by and have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

Hugs, Christine

Creating a fun scene with stencils and Simon Says Stamp products

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all having a wonderful day and for my friends in the US, I hope you are having a great start to your Memorial Day weekend!  I have a fun video and card to share with you today using an adorable stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and some other products to create a fun scene on my card.  Here's my video tutorial:

And here are some pictures:

I used my Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillside dies to create the grass. I then used the new Cloud Stencil from My Favorite Things to create the cloud background (I used Broken China Distress Oxide ink). I then stamped all the images from the adorable Some Bunny Special stamp set from Simon Says Stamp with Black Dye ink from Hero Arts. I then colored all of the images using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a water brush. I used Gray Brown and Peach Pink for the bunny, and brown for the pot he's standing on and Light Green for the grass. I used Gray, Wine Red, and Dark Oatmeal for the mailbox. I used pink, yellow, and light green for the pink flowers and light blue, yellow, and light green for the blue flower. I used orange and light green for the carrots. I also heat embossed my sentiment (also from the same stamp set) with white embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp. Finally, I added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh (the friendship mix). What do you think? Well, that's it from me today. Thank you all so much as always for stopping by! Big hugs!
