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.

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.
A beautiful shaker card is now complete. Look how yummy that ink looks on the rainbow. The colors blend so pretty together. I’ll be sharing another card using the left over pieces from this card on a project soon. For more projects using Brea Reese alcohol inks you can click here. I’ve linked all the products below for your shopping convenience.
Have a wonderful day everyone. I’ll see you back here soon!
Hey peeps. I’m back today sharing a quick crafty card I made a few weeks ago. I love to watercolor so when I saw the Arts & Craft stamp set from The Ink Blot Shop I knew I had to have it. This stamp set features some of the cutest images for us crafty peeps. You can watercolor the images or color them with pencils or markers.
For my watercoloring today I used a inexpensive palette I picked up from Amazon awhile ago. I have a review of the palette here. It’s really a great palette for the price. I started off by stamping out the paint tube seven times so I could have all the colors of the rainbow. I colored each one leaving some high light areas around the top. Now I don’t get caught up on light source and all that. I just like to paint and make pretty things. (However I’m taking a watercolor class so I might change that when I’m more experienced).
Once I had all my painting done, I fussy cut each image with my spring action scissors. Next I grabbed a piece of fog cardstock for the base of my card. I popped each paint tube on a foam square and went in a circle-ish design round this piece after I stamped a sweet sentiment in the middle. To add a little bit of white to the card base, I pulled out my gelly roll pen .10 and drew dots around the edges of the card panel and a few around the paint tubes. Here’s a closeup of the card.
For my second card I pulled out the glue bottle, washi tape, paint bottle and sequin holder and got busy painting them as well. The text on each bottle was done by first drawing the word out with pencil and then going over it with a fine tip pen. Now it was time to add some Ink On 3 liquid pixie dust for sparkle. I fussy cut out each image and now they were ready for a card panel.
Again I kept the panel really simple with just a sentiment and faux stitching round the case base. I them alternated the images and stacked them on top of each other as if they were sitting on my shelf waiting to be used. This definitely was a fun card to make. The sentiments for both of these cards are from The Ink Blot Shop Arts and Crafts sentiment stamp set.
Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon with more card making inspiration. Have a great day everyone.
