For today's blog post, we have Ilda and Ceal each sharing a fun project. 

For my card today, Ilda wanted to showcase how these colors blended and fit into the rainbow. So of course she had to make a rainbow card (my favorite kind). She began by blending out SWEET PETUNIA, MARILYN RED, MARIGOLD ORANGE, BEE STING YELLOW, GODDESS GREEN, TRINITY TEAL, PEACOCK BLUE, and MY PURPLE JAM Atelier Inks onto a piece of Bristol paper. She then sprayed the background with water and picked up the water droplets with a paper towel.

Once the paper was dry, she used an antistatic powder bag to prepare the paper for embossing. Then she stamped out the inside details of the butterfly wings from the SHINE BRIGHT set using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it by adding some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER. 

Next, she stamped the outer image of the butterfly using BLACKOUT INK. To the inside of each butterfly, she then painted on some LIQUID PIXIE DUST.

To finish off this colorful card, she stamped the sentiment onto a black banner once again using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it using some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER.

For Ceal's project, she used the BeYoutiful stamp set along with the new inks. She ink blended the background and then used some water to splatter. Atelier Inks are water reactive, so you can create a fun textured background. 

Don't you love when the colors blend together? It creates such a nice hue!

We also have Erica on the blog sharing TWO last gorgeous cards. Here's here thoughts! 

It's Erica on the Ink On 3 blog today with a couple of cards made with the stunning new Atelier Ink colours Trinity Teal and Sweet Petunia Pink. If you haven't seen any of the other posts this week, with all the projects from the DT, make sure you check them out too! 

I love water colouring with my re-inkers so I decided to do some ombre backgrounds to really let each colour be the star of the card.

Each piece was done by simply swooshing the colours back and forth on water colour paper, starting with clean water first. Then going from bottom towards the top, letting the colour fade to get that ombre look. I'm such a fan of ombre, it's such a fab way to see the different shades you can get from one single colour. 

I did use my heat tool to speed up the drying, as I did several layers of the colours to get a really deep colour at the bottom. To adhere these to white card bases I used LOTS of glue, and I also let them dry with a MISTI on top, to keep them flat. When they were totally dry, I splattered them both with gold water colours to add a bit of extra pizzazz! 

To finish off the cards I used the light string from the brand new Crafty Meriaki collaboration set, Shine Bright, as well as a sentiment from it. The lights were coloured in with yellow Copics and then I added some Glossy Accents to make them look more 3D. 

The pink card I thought would look cute as a love note, so I stamped 'You stole my heart' in Blackout Detail ink, from the Racoon Hugs. It needed a little something extra, which was solved by die cutting the 'kisses' from Bad & Boujee diecuts four times in white card stock. These were layered up and then simply added to the card at the bottom. 

I love the fact that with a gorgeous background, you don't need a ton of other stuff to make a card full of impact. 

That's it from me but I hope you like the cards and found some inspiration here with me today!

Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica
