Brea Reese Alcohol Ink Techniques – Let The Happiness Begin

May 16, 2019

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.  These Brea Reese inks are very vibrant and work fabulously on the Brea Reese waterproof panels and the waterproof paper.  To me these inks seem to blend easier than other alcohol inks and they work beautifully with other inks as well.

Let me share a few of the projects I made with these inks before we get into the tutorial.  In the tutorial I share you will see several Brea Reese alcohol ink techniques that I hope inspire you to grab some and play. You will see in the tutorial how easy these pieces came together and how quickly you can make stunning backgrounds and sentiments for your next set of cards. To see another project I made using these inks check out this posts.

Simply Watercoloring – Kristina Werner Style Tutorial

April 24, 2019

Today I’m sharing a simple watercoloring tutorial in true Kristina Werner style.  Kristina posted a beautiful Mother’s Day card a few days ago on her blog along with a tutorial. She shared a FREE template for us to use for our Mother’s Day cards.  I LOVED this design so much I decided to make my own card and tutorial.  Thanks Kristina for your generosity of sharing your talent with all of us.

For my card I have listed all the supplies below for easy shopping and recreating.  Don’t forget to grab the template from Kristina’s blog as well. Making this card was so relaxing to do.  I have mentioned several times that watercoloring has become one of my favorite mediums.  I’m slowing working my way back to making videos so this easy watercoloring technique was a perfect way to just let my paints flow.

Inexpensive Watercolor Palette – Is It Worth the Money?

March 27, 2019

Hey peeps.  Inexpensive Watercolor palette – Is it Worth the Money?  Yes it is especially if you are a beginner.  Inexpensive watercolor palettes make it easy on the wallet. Watercolor palettes can be purchased as a set or you can make one of your own.  Purchasing tubes of watercolor paints can get expensive so I recommend starting with one already made.  I saw this palette on Amazon and decided to purchase it for a review.  This watercolor palette is perfect for on the go travel.  The colors are vibrant and easy to blend.

I decided to do a quick tutorial sharing my first impressions of these colors.  I will say these watercolors are not artist grade however they are good for quick and beautiful watercoloring. Here’s a quick tutorial. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll see you back here soon.

Shaker Card – Shaking Up My St. Patrick’s Day Birthday Card

March 9, 2019

Hey peeps.  As promised I’m shaking up my St. Patrick’s Day birthday card for my sister.  I mean who doesn’t love a great shaker card?  If you missed my card from yesterday you can check it out here.  This card will be for my twin sister again because our birthday is on St. Patrick’s day (lucky us) and I always try to incorporate green into our cards. IF you’ve missed any of my other shaker cards, you can find them here.

For my card today I’m pulling out all the stops.  Overload of green and sequins?  Yes, please.  This card was super easy to create and would be perfect for spring as well.  I mean look at all that beautiful green on this card!! 🍀 I’m in love with this color combination of twisted citron, mowed lawn and lucky clover distress oxide inks.

Let me give you a closeup of all that marvelous green sparkly sequins and bits.  OH MY!!! 😍

Working My Green With A St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil Birthday Card

March 9, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m working my green today making a St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil card.  My birthday is on St. Patrick’s day and it’s a special on this year because my twin and I are turning 50!  Yes we made it to this fabulous age and I couldn’t be happier.  You see when I turned 40 I was diagnosed with colon cancer.  It was the scariest time of my life and for my family.  We were so fortunate that the cancer was easily removed and I am almost 10 years cancer free.

Anyway back to the St. Patrick’s Day card for my sister. I started with a beautiful blend of distress oxide inks for my background.  Next I added some splattered gold splatter to the background as well.  Wanting to pull in some beautiful gold foil on my card, so I grabbed my deco foil foam adhesive sheets and foil sheets and got busy.

My completed card looked great with all the gold and green.  Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. You can see more of the deco foil in action on this video I made during my holiday card series.
