Hi everyone! My name is Danielle Walls, and I am so happy to be here! I live in Delaware with my incredible husband, three awesome kids, and two crazy dogs! I am also the owner of Neat and Tangled! I love all things crafty, be it card making, scrapbooking, lettering, crocheting, you name it! When I'm not spending time with my family and friends or being crafty I love to work out, bake, nap and watch cheesy romantic comedies!

I am so excited to be guesting this month! I was thrilled with Vanessa invited me!

Today I created a card using a mix of old and new favorites! To start, I stamped the heart from Neat and Tangled's Heart of Gold stamp set in Antique Linen Distress ink, and colored in the triangles using a variety of red Copics. After that, I selected a few of the triangles and covered them in Mercury Glass Stickles. While that dried, I used Neat and Tangled's Heart of Gold die to cut the white heart. Once my Stickles were totally dry I adhered the die cut on top.

I made my card base, and adhered a piece of vellum to the front. I then added my heart using some foam dimensionals. Whenever I can't find a good match for a sentiment I fall back on an old favorite, Neat and Tangled's Everyday Labels! I stamped and cut out the "hello" and used foam dimensionals to stick that to the heart.

Hope you enjoyed my card! Thanks for checking it out!

Danielle

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool for the first time and loved it! I cut my own Tim Holtz watercolor paper to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer. I stamped my sentiments that are by Lawn Fawn Hello Baby with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks . I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things...

Painting backwards....

Hello, hello! Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog . It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink! Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards. What do I mean, you wonder? Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color. For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks. You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color. I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any wate...

Hey, hey BRI friends! We're hopping today to celebrate the 4th Birthday of Altenew , one of our favorite stamping companies! You should have arrived here from the Altenew blog , and we're glad you're here to share the excitement! There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! With you today, is Norine from The Velvet Lemon creating for Butterfly Reflections Ink and I have some projects to share today, that I made using some recently released Altenew products . First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set . I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored. I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush . I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge...
