World Card Making Day the repeat!

I love long weekends and to have it twinned with a celebration of my favourite hobby, well, I am like a kid in a candy store. I have managed to make quite a few projects which I will share over the next week.

I decided to enter another project into the Fun My Favorite Things challenge. This is for the second of four challenges - Die -namics.


I think the first "rainbow" challenge inspired me... lol. Who doesn't love a rainbow! I used fun foam and StickIt adhesive with an A2 size piece of Neena Solar White with the same rainbow array of Distress Inks. Once my panel was completely inked, I used the Distress sprayer for some added texture. I then used the retired Mini Chicken Wire Die-namics background die for both the foam piece and a plain typing paper piece to use as my guide. Using the fun foam and StickIt made is so easy to get the pieces out.

Once that was all lined up on my card base (actually very easy to do) I added some gold string and the Cheers Die-namics (die cut from both black and white card stock and angled) I added the Friend sentiment (from Happy Hippos with some surgery) on an MFT banner Die -namics.

Finished it off with, of course, some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!

Happy Hippos!

Happy Sunday crafty friends! So nice to be back on the Butterfly Reflections Ink. blog with you for today :)

My project today features MFT products that can be all be found in the Butterfly Reflections Ink. shop!


But I mean, look at those hippos! I just fell in love with them! This is the Happy Hippos stamp set by MFT colored with my Copic Sketch markers - I wanted a really whimsical card and what better than flying Hippos, Lol. For the background "colored" clouds I used the fantastic Cloud Stencil by MFT, I love this stencil! Instead of a typical blue I decided to go with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed to match my Copic accent colors.

For the "white" clouds I used the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud borders. I put my elements together and added my favorite Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins. I finished off by adding a little grey Copic marker under my bottom elements to ground them.

For those of you interested in any of these products go on over to the shop, if any items are not in stock simply select the Notify Me option. Vanessa rocks at re-stocking quickly.

Thanks for taking the time!
