Here For you Card

 I really love the details in the flower in the Here for You stamp set, it's definitely designed to be used with the Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink! 

On a white card base, mask off about 1/3 of the card, then stencil in a background using the Squiggles Stencil. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Victorian Velvet, Tattered Rose, and Milled Lavender.

Then I stamped out two of the flowers in the Here for You clear stamp set, colored with copic markers, and then fussy cut the image.

Next, I die cut one black and one white rectangles. On the white rectangle, I stamped out the sentiment "You are Never Alone" with Blackout Detail Ink, then on the black rectangle I stamped out "I'm here for You" with Juicy Clear Embossing Ink. Then I sprinkled some Ultra Fine Embossing Powder in Arctic white onto the embossing ink, and heat set.

Assemble the card as shown in the picture above. There you have it! A beautiful card to let your friend know that you're always there for them!

Dreamy Sweet Petunias with Erica

 Hi guys! 

It’s Erica back on the Ink On 3 blog with a couple of cards, using the fabulous and fantastic and amazing new My Sweet Petunia layering stencils and coordinating stamp set. Oh boy, they are just gorgeous on their own but used together they are a total knockout!! 

I’m getting ahead of myself though, let’s go back to the beginning: I’ve got two cards to show you. Both are made with the same colours, but with different levels of intensity. They are also finished off with different colours of embossing powder. 

This first one is done with a softer, lighter ink blending. For the flower petals, I’ve used Sweet Petunia Pink and Bee Sting Yellow, and I’ve inkblended them through the first two layers of the stencils. I wanted to keep the colours very cohesive, so I used the same colours on top of each other. 

I use Life Changing Blender Brushes when I ink blend, for me that’s what gives me the best results, but the Atelier inks are buttery smooth and blend so great that any blending tool you have will probably do just as good a job. 

For the stems I have mixed Goddess Green, Trinity Teal and a bit of Bee Sting Yellow. I really should have skipped the yellow though, it didn’t really work out OR I should have gone in with the yellow first, perhaps, for a more spring like look. 

When all the ink blending was done, and the panel had been left to dry a little, I used an anti-static tool all over it, and then popped it into my MISTI. I really wanted to use the My Sweet Petunia outline stamp on top of that luscious ink blending. 

I heat embossed it with Rich Gold from WOW! Embossing and once the embossing powder was set, I splattered some gold water colour on top for extra wow-factor. The final touch was a sentiment from the Here For You stamp set, stamped up with Sweet Petunia Pink ink, on a slim banner. 

The second card is done almost the same, however I skipped the Bee Sting Yellow on the stems, and I went in heavier with the Sweet Petunia Pink and the yellow on the flower petals. 

On this one I used embossing powder in Platinum for the My Sweet Petunia outline stamp instead. Just to make sure they are not totally the same. Naturally the gold splatters were still added. Those you can never have too many of. 

The sentiment from this one is from the My Sweet Petunia set, but it’s also stamped with Sweet Petunia Pink ink. Hey, that rhymes! 

I did make a video for the first card, you can find that on my YouTube channel. For the Platinum card I made a reel, that you can find on my Instagram feed. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and liked the cards, I have linked most of the products used for these card with compensated affiliate links in the post. These links do not cost you anything extra at all, promise! 

Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica 

My Sweet Petunia Layering Stencils Slim Line Card

I'm am so in love with the My Sweet Petunia Layering Stencils from InkOn3 that I had to use them twice on one card! 

I love that you can use the My Sweet Petunia Layering Stencils with or without the coordinating My Sweet Petunia Stamp Set! I chose to go without the outline from the stamp set for an easy no line coloring look - and really ... it doesn't get any easier than this! The My Sweet Petunia Layering Stencils have little numbers cut out of the bottom corners and I like to start with number 1. I started in the bottom left of my card and ink blended Trinity Teal, Peacock Blue, and Goddess Green Atelier Inks to build up my first floral cluster. I moved my stencils up to the top right and ink blended Sweet Petunia Pink, Marilyn Red, and Goddess Green Atelier Inks for my second cluster. I only quickly wiped my stencils with my Ink Off Cloth so some of the blue inks transferred onto my pink flowers and I LOVE the happy accident! 

I needed something simple to pull the background of my card together. There was just too much white space, so I used a tiny dot stencil and some Blackout Hybrid Ink to add little polka dots in between my petunias. I finished the card off with a die cut "hello" and covered it in Liquid Pixie Dust for sparkle. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you again soon! 

Wonky Lines and Lilac Dreams

I went bold with the new Wonky Lines Stencil from InkOn3! I did a bit of easy masking and Copic coloring and you can catch it all on YouTube! 

I stamped the large floral cluster from the Lilac Dreams Stamp Set onto the middle of a piece of white cardstock and did some quick Copic coloring. I have white lilacs in my backyard, so I colored the image like them - white with pale purple centers! Once the image was colored I stamped the same image onto masking paper and trimmed it out and placed the mask over the stamped and colored image. 

I placed the new Wonky Lines Stencil over the card and used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink over the stencil. I went back and forth between purple and black, but I am SO happy I went with black! It's so bold and beautiful! When I peeled off my mask I had a nice white border around my stamped image which makes it pop off the background! 

I wanted to keep the card simple, so I die cut a sentiment from white and black cardstock and offset them and covered them and the lilac with Liquid Pixie Dust for shine. That's it! Thanks for stopping by!
