Now onto my card and tutorial. If you have been following me on Instagram, you know I’m a champagne lover especially during the holidays. So this year I turned my love of my favorite champagne into a card.

I absolutely love how this card came out. The gold on the green looks stunning. Keeping the card clean and simple really works for this design.

Had to share the bottle label with the card. If you love champagne let me know which kind you like. I would love to try something new.

Here’s the tutorial on how this card came together. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel. All products I used are listed below. Affiliate links are used at no cost to you. Thanks for supporting my channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here with more inspiration soon! Take care and Happy New Year.

Brea Reese Alcohol Inks – How Awesome Are These Inks

April 29, 2019

Hey peeps. The Brea Reese alcohol inks are amazing!! I had a chance to play with a few of them thanks to the lovely ladies over at Momenta. There are a few brands on the market when it comes to alcohol inks however these flow so smoothly and easily to me. I feel like a mad scientist when I’m working with these inks. The colors blend and flow on yupo paper, waterproof paper and waterproof panels with ease.

My color combo was created using ocean green, lake blue and rose. I love this color combination for achieving ocean colors in depths of blue all the way to purple. I added some gold to this color combo as well to give it some shimmer. The gold is not part of the Brea Reese alcohol inks. To keep the color moving swiftly across my paper I also used blending solution from Brea Reese.

To create a soft look, I made sure to use a heat tool however I kept the air blowing quickly on the paper and didn’t leave it in one place for too long. Note: if you use more blending solution, you will get a lighter color palette. Adding in drops of gold and keeping the ink flowing gave me great veins in this piece. With just one panel I was able to get two cards made.

I decided to keep both cards very clean and simple. I heat embossed some card stock with gold rush embossing powder from Ink On 3. The beautiful hello die cut is from Pink and Main and looks gorgeous in gold. Gold foil paper was a perfect addition to this card and worked nicely with the gold in the alcohol ink. A little bit of gold splatter and gold floss finished off these cards.

February 19, 2019

Hey peeps. Breakfast fun anyone? I’m sneak peeking the Pink and Main Breakfast Fun stamps and coordinating dies. The stamp set and coordinating dies will be available tomorrow in the Pink and Main store. If you are a breakfast lover ( I do love me a good egg and bacon sandwich) you are going to love these cute images and sentiments.

I colored up each of the images with Copic makers and made myself some mini cards to sneak into my hubby’s car before he heads out to work. You know a little something to make him smile on his way to work. You can get all the details on how I put this card together over on the Pink and Main Blog. I’m sharing additional photos as well. So head on over and check them out. These products will be available in the Pink and Main shop on February 20th, 2019.

Pink And Main Sneak Peek – Life Is A Circus

January 17, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m sharing a sneak peek with you today. Pink and Main’s release will be on Sunday Jan 20 and I can’t wait for you to see this release. It’s absolutely FULL of new products to include stamps, paper, gems, etc. So let me show you the card I made with the Life Is A Circus stamps and coordinating Life Is A Circus die cuts.

First let me say these little circus animals are just too precious. I colored each image with Copic markers and die cut them out with the coordinating dies. Next I pulled out the Pink and Main Spring Fling paper pad and cut out a strip of paper to add to the bottom of a white card base. To keep the animals from not getting lost on the white card base, I added a strip of navy card stock for them to play on. I used the silver glossy dots and colored them with Copic markers so they matched my animals stunt pieces. Lastly I rounded the top two corners of my card base and my card was complete.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’m at Creativation this year and I hope to be able to post some of the excitement going on there. Head on over to the Pink and Main blog to check out what other projects are featured today.

Spellbinders Love and Flowers Die Cut

December 15, 2018

Hey peeps. Happy Saturday. I’m back to share a card using the beautiful Spellbinders Love and Flowers die cut. This is such a sweet die cut for any of your occasional cards. It’s a striking die that is so easy to use.

I die cut this piece several times in black and dark pink cardstock and stacked them on top of each other to create a custom embellishment. I also cut out the heart in gold glitter paper to add it to the center of the flower. I stenciled a brick background with embossing paste and color burst. I love this bright pink and how it pairs with the black silhouette image of this sweet girl and boy.

For my sentiment I used one of the dies from my monthly large die cuts subscription from Spellbinders. I again cut out several pieces and finished it off with glitter gold on the top. Keeping this clean and simple with no additional embellishments.
