Chain Link Hearts – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 3

January 15, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing a rainbow chain link hearts card. This card was so much fun to make. The cards I’m creating are easy to recreate and mass produce. Especially if you are making them for class mates or teachers.

For today’s card I pulled out ink pads in rainbow colors to create the chain link hearts for my card panel. If you can’t get your hands on Catherine Pooler inks you can definitely use other inks in the same color family.

Using just a touch of black really makes the card. If you prefer not to use black a simple color from the rainbow inspired chain link hearts would work as well. Also a pretty said of light gray would be a very cooling choice. Remember this card is customizable to your liking.

Here’s a quick tutorial. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

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.

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.
