Masculine Card With Brea Reese Alcohol Inks

October 17, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m back with another masculine card with Brea Reese alcohol inks.  I know many of us struggle with making masculine cards.  I’m trying to break that cycle and make at least one masculine card a week so I have plenty on hand when I need them. Making masculine cards with Brea Reese alcohol inks is quick and easy.

For today’s card I wanted to add lots of texture to my card for a really cool look.  First I applied three darks colors of ink onto 110lb card stock with a blending tool.  Next I came back in with a piece of felt wrapped around the edge of a straight ruler and laid down a few irregular stripes with yellow, red and green inks.  This gave a great color variation.  Once this panel was dried I ran it through my die cutting machine with an embossing folder.  I have done this technique before and I always love how it looks.

Keeping this card clean and simple, I die cut out a quick thanks sentiment from Simon Says Stamp using brown and yellow card stock.  Next I stamped out a sentiment from the Thankful Heart stamp set also from Simon Says Stamp and heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.  I trimmed that piece down to form a small banner I could pop under the thanks die cut. I also swiped on a small amount of gold alcohol over there raised areas of the background. To finish off the card I adhered it to a yellow card base.

I’m so happy with the way this card turned out. What’s so amazing with the Brea Reese alcohol inks, the variations of backgrounds are endless.  Here’s a close up of this stunning card. You can click on my Brea Reese Alcohol Inks link to see more projects from me.

I would love to see what designs you come up with using Brea Reese alcohol inks. Make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see your work.  Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

    Hi beautiful card! You used regular 110lb cardstock with the alcohol inks? I thought it had to be yupo? Where did you get the embossing folder? Love the pattern!

    Sorry I have been MIA, Joy. This card is fabulous. I love the depth of color you achieved! And that embossing folder is terrific for a masculine card. Which one is it? I don’t see it listed in your supplies. Are you still doing live videos? I haven’t been engaged in any of those for ages. Hope all is well with you and family 🙂 Jeanne

      Hey Jeanne. It’s from We R Memory Keepers Next Level and it’s called Woven. It’s an older one so it might be hard to find. However there is another one I really Love and it’s called Geometric. Same We R Memory Keepers Next Level.
