Easy Alcohol Ink Backgrounds – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 5

January 17, 2020

I can’t believe we are already done with the card series.  So Easy alcohol ink backgrounds was a total given for today’s card.  Alcohol inks can be so much fun to place with since you never know how it’s going to turn out.

Today’s card is full of Valentine’s Day inspiration.  The large sentiment on this card was all I needed to make it stellar!  And who doesn’t love a touch of shimmer and sparkle on a card?

Galaxy Warm Wishes

December 28, 2019

Hey everyone.  Today is my last card of the year featuring products from Brea Reese.  It has been a pleasure working as a design team member for the Momenta/Brea Reese family and I’m so honored.  The members of Brea Reese are amazing and I wish them continued success.  This won’t be the last time you see me using their products for sure.

My card is featuring a purply-pink galaxy background.  I love the way Brea Reese alcohol inks move so beautifully on paper.  You can never repeat the same design and that just amazes me.  I kept my card clean and simple by letting my background be the start.  Using a large sentiment from Hello Bluebird and just a small hot cocoa mug was all I needed to complete this card.

Warm Wishes With Brea Reese

December 19, 2019

Hey everyone.  Can you believe Christmas is next week?  So before I let the holiday blow past me I wanted to send you some warm wishes. Today’s card I used beautiful alcohol inks from Brea Reese and a large sentiment from Hello Bluebird.  If you live anywhere cold I’m sending you warm winter wishes for sure.

For my card today I created a beautiful blue background with Brea Reese alcohol inks on Brea Reese waterproof paper.  I trimmed down this panel to fit a standard 4.25 x 5.5 card base.  Next I die cut the warm wishes from silver foil cardstock from Concord & 9th. I inlayed the sentiment into the alcohol ink panel.  These styles of cards are super easy to make and easier to mass produce.

To finish off the card I added a few clear sparkling sequins for added sparkle.  I love how this card turned out.

Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday season.  I’ll see you back here soon.

Brea Reese Holiday Lights

November 14, 2019

Hey everyone.  I’m back today sharing Brea Reese holiday lights with you.  These lights were super easy to make and can easily be recreated using different colors of ink.  One of my favorite color combinations is red and teal.  I know these colors are not normally ones must people would choice for holiday lights. However, remember it’s your creation so you can make it any color you want. 😉

Brea Reese Holiday Lights

I started off by making large backgrounds on Brea Reese waterproof paper. Mixing three blue shades of ink on one panel and two red shades of ink on the other.  I made sure to add lots of colorless solution to keep the colors moving and flowing nicely together.  While I let them I worked on the background.

Gray card stock is definitely a color I go to when I want a soft background for an image or in this case my lights.  I trimmed down a panel of fog card stock and stamped a cheerful holiday message in the corner with Versamark.  Next I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.  For the string that hold my lights, I dipped white baker’s twine in gold watercolor and heat set it.

Brea Reese Holiday Lights

Now it was time to assemble my card.  I pulled the string through the top of each light and attached the string to the back of the gray panel.  For dimension on my card I popped up each light with foam dots and staggered them across the top of the panel. I adhered this panel to a white card base made with 100 lb Neenah Solar White card stock.  Additional interest was a must for the background so I pulled out a few gems and flat back sequins to scatter around the lights.

As I mentioned in the beginning of the post, these Brea Reese holiday lights are super easy one to recreate.  Color palette are available on my color combinations board on Pinterest if you need color inspiration. Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll see you back here soon.

Holiday Ornaments With Brea Reese

November 2, 2019

Hey everyone.  Happy Saturday.  I’ve made some holiday ornaments with Brea Reese alcohol inks for one of may holiday cards this year.  These were so easy to pull together and you can make the ornaments any color or combo of colors you wish.  Holiday ornaments with Brea Reese alcohol inks are a perfect way to use up some of those alcohol ink backgrounds you might still have laying around.  Let me share with you how I made mine.

Holiday Ornaments With Brea Reese alcohol inks

First I stared out making a quick background using alcohol inks.  I made sure to keep the colors bright and in a “somewhat” rainbow order on my paper.  Once everything was dry I splattered on some gold liquid metal alcohol ink and white gouache for some added interest.  Next I pulled out an ornament die from my stash and selected the colors from the background paper I wanted to create ornaments with.  My alcohol ink paper was large so I’ll get plenty of ornaments out of it.  Once I die cut out each ornament I backed each one with silver glitter paper.  This gives the center of each ornament some sparkle.

Holiday Ornaments With Brea Reese

For added weight I layered the alcohol piece with the glitter center onto another die cut ornament from white card stock.  This will keep the ornament from being to flimsy.  Now it was time to add the topper and ribbon.  I die cut the ornament toppers from the same silver glitter paper and adhered them to the ornaments with liquid glue.  Next I die cut out the ribbons from white card stock and colored each one with a coordinating Copic marker.  I adhered the ribbons to each ornament with liquid glue. Adding fam dots to the back of each ornament will help me to pop them up on my background.

For added interest, I die cut a quilted backdrop from white card stock and slid in a backer piece of rainbow striped design paper behind it.  This way to color could peek through each flower.  The colors are lined up behind each coordinating ornament.  This looks so awesome in person. Adding a sentiment in rainbow colors kept the card cheerful. I will have to say this is one of my favorite holidays cards I have made so far this year.  It just screams happiness to me.  Here is a link to more Brea Reese alcohol ink projects I have made.  All the products I used for this card are listed below.  These are affiliate links however there is no cost to you for using them. Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll see you back here next week.

Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering u Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering up my @heroarts bold prints. I love the look for texture on cards and by using two great bold prints, I created this beauty. A good tip to layering your bold prints, keep it simple! If your bold prints are too busy, layering them will be difficult. 

For my card I used the Hero Arts Ginkgo Leaves and Positive Script bold prints. The script bold print is small enough that it doesn't overpower the leaves. And you don't have to be perfect with the script either as you are just giving the look for words not something that needs to be readable. Perfect match in cardmaking heaven.

You can find all the products I used on the blog today including this beautiful sentiment you see on my card. (it's one that speaks to my heart). Link is in the bio. Have a wonderful day everyone.
