Hello and happy Sunday to you!
Today we are so excited to introduce to you our July Guest Designer: Gladys Marcelino! This talented lady always makes the CUTEST cards with the best coloring!!! I love her sweet style!!

__________________________________________


Hi Everyone! This is Gladys (instagram:crafty_m0chi) from Honolulu, Hawaii but recently moved to the east coast due to my husband's job transfer. We definitely miss Hawaii but both our families live there so it is comforting to know we will always have a place to stay when we visit. We have two kids 1 boy and 1 girl (ages 5 and 2). They are very active, smart, loving kids and they always keep me on my toes. We also have a fur baby, a dog named Molly who has been with us for almost 10 years now. We love having her around and we hope to have her with us for many more years. I have a full time and part time job so crafting is definitely my happy place from a busy hectic life. 
I have been crafting for a few years...started with scrapbooking but a year ago I fell in love with card making because it's a lot quicker for me to complete. Earlier this year I decided that it was time for me to share my love for cardmaking so I started posting my work on instagram. Thanks to social media I found a place where I can learn and be inspired. I have met so many talented people in the crafty community and I'm so grateful for the support and encouragement they have given me. So with that I would like to thank Vanessa for inviting me to be a guest designer on her blog! I'm so happy and excited to share my card with you today!

For my card I used some recently release products from My Favorite Things. It is available here on the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop so get yours now before they go out of stock. I knew I wanted to make a birthday card theme so the Happy Birthday Centerpieces die-namics was perfect! The die come in one piece which I absolutely love because everything is lined up perfectly. You can make so many cards with just this one die! 


I decided I wanted to add a stamp image on my card panel so I cut the die off center, more towards the left. I then took another card panel and distressed it with MFT dye inks in coral crush, razzle berry and summer splash. I stamp the balloons and hat from Beary Special Birthday stamp set and the girl image from Hello Beautiful. I colored them with copic markers and I added stickles on the girl's wings and dress. I adhered the two card panels together and used foam tape on the stamps to give it more dimension. 

That completes my card, I hope you enjoy and thanks again Vanessa for letting me share my project! Have a wonderful week everyone!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

By
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  Snuggle Bunnies  for the girl and Magical Dragons for th

Painting backwards....

By
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 water based inks w

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, then tore the vel
