Reverse Rainbow Card With Brea Reese Alcohol Inks

June 30, 2019

Hey peeps. I shared a card last week using a beautiful rainbow alcohol ink piece to make a shaker card. I NEVER get rid of scraps of pretty paper. So today I’m going to show you the card I made using the scraps from last week. Of course the gorgeous Brea Reese alcohol inks are the star of this card.

Any time you make a great card using a die, see what else you can use the leftover piece for. My card today is reverse rainbow. These beautiful piece came out of the Rainbow die cut from Avery Elle I used last week. I love the way it looks on the all white background. It also reminds me of a sound echo of some sort. LOL I see all kinds of things when I create. All I did was glued the piece onto a white card base and stamp a simple sentiment.

I wish I had the power to create such beautiful cards with all my alcohol ink backgrounds. Some of them are so beautiful I really don’t want to use them. (LOL I know- first world problems). However when you know using Brea Reese alcohol inks would make your heart happy, don’t you want that feeling to last through your art?

To keep the card simple. I kept lots of white space, used a simple sentiment and very few embellishments. I didn’t want anything to compete with all that color. The card base was made out of fog card stock. Another color that won’t compete with my alcohol ink pieces. Absolutely stunning.

I’ve linked all the products used for this card below for your shopping convenience. I also have a link to more work I’m done using Brea Reese alcohol inks. Want to see a tutorial? Head on over to my Youtube channel. Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon.

Brea Reese Alcohol Ink Rainbow Shaker Card YES PLEASE

June 24, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m sharing a Brea Reese alcohol ink Rainbow shaker card with you today. Playing with the Brea Reese alcohol inks is so much fun. As you can tell from the pictures I’m still working my rainbow groove. I can’t help it, it makes me happy. For the cards today I laid out my Brea Reese alcohol inks in rainbow color and worked on the Brea Reese waterproof paper.

To start off my shaker card I pulled out my Avery Elle Rainbow die (which I have fallen in love with) and die cut out my rainbow. I trimmed down this piece and made sure to keep all the scraps. Placing a piece of acetate behind this piece to keep all the glittery bits we will fill the shaker with. Next I used double sided foam take to make wells for each section and filled each one with sequins. To close up the shaker, I stenciled a background using the Rays The Roof stencil from Heffy Doodle. That beautiful yellow is mustard seed distress ink.

To make the clouds at the top and bottom of my rainbow, used the Hello Bluebird After The Rain Scene dies. On one of the clouds I stamped a sentiment from the Rainbows stamp set from Avery Elle. All that was left was to add the clouds to the rainbow. To finish off the card, I took the scrap piece of rainbow alcohol ink paper and cut two thin strips. I glued these strips onto a piece of 4.25 x 5.5 piece of card stock. Once the glue dried, I trimmed this piece of paper down just a tad bit so it would fit on a card base. The card base color is fog from Simon Says Stamp. The perfect light gray for this card.

Hey everyone. I’m sharing Brea Reese alcohol ink techniques – let the happiness begin. I had the opportunity to have some of these inks sent to me for review. I also purchased a few additional colors on my own along with the Brea Reese waterproof paper.

The Stamp Market Hugs and Hello Stamp Set

May 15, 2019

Good morning everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using The Stamp Market Hugs and Hello stamp set. This stamp set includes the prettiest paper hugs and hello sentiments. As soon as I saw the stamp set I fell in love with it. The contrast between the large bold letters and the thin line letters are stunning together. They are also very easy to layer as well.

I’ve been using alcohol inks a lot more lately so I had a few backgrounds ready for a card. For this card I used my Ranger Pearl Alcohol inks in rainbow order to create this background. I will say that these inks do more a little bit differently on a card compared to their counterparts. Assuming that the pearl additive slightly changes the ink and makes it flow differently across my paper.

Regardless of the difference in properties I am still a HUGE fan of the pearl alcohol inks. I mean you can achieve shimmer and color all in one ink. That’s a bonus for me and I’m sure it is for you as well.

So on to the card I made. Like I mentioned I already had this panel made so all I needed to do was add the right sentiment. This paper hugs sentiment is large enough to really work well on this background. With this sentiment you really don’t need anything else. Just for some added blink, I attached two heart glossy enamels from Pink and Main to anchor the sentiment on the card.

After pulling the sentiment off of the background to get ready to stamp, there was a slight transfer of color onto to the stamp itself. After heat embossing it with arctic white embossing powder from InkOn3 I still had residue on the sentiment. However I’m completely okay with it.

Here’s a closeup of how the paper looks. It’s so pretty in real like. I will definitely be using the pearl alcohol inks again to make backgrounds for my card.
