Spotlight on InkOn3 Atelier Inks | Ink Blending - Guest Designer Laura

Hi everyone! It's Laura Volpes and today I am really excited to share my first post as a guest designer for InkOn3! I love both InkOn3 inks and their lovely designs, and for this month I decide to share different ways to use the fabulous Atelier Inks! 

Today we are starting from a classic technique: ink blending!

I used this technique to create both the card background and the stenciled focal point on my white panel. I used Peacock Blue on the card base and Bee Sting Yellow and Goddess Green for the flower. The stencil I used is the wonderful Flora stencil, by InkOn3.

I blended the inks with my domed ink blenders and a finger dauber for the smaller details in the stencil. The inks blend like butter and the thing that was really cool to see is how they build onto themselves: the more you layer them, the richer the color you get! Bee Sting Yellow almost turned to an orang-ey shade, as I was building layers in the center of the flowers!

Of course, I add to add some shimmer, and Liquid Pixie Dust is just the perfect medium for that! So. much. sparkle!

The images and the sentiment are both part of the InkOn3 Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set. I stamped them with InkOn3 Blackout ink and colored them with Illustrator alcohol markers by Spectrum Noir.

Here is a list of the markers I used:

• Fox: TN8, BO4, BO2, BO1. BG3, BG1. FS5, FS8, FS9
• Bunny: BG7, BG5, BG3, BG1. FS5, FS8, FS9

I glued everything to the card base, raising the front panel on some foam tape, and I finished off the card with some light blue crystals.

Here is also a video for you, showing the InkOn3 Atelier inks in action as well as the whole card making process!

I will catch you guys next week with another post and video!

Have a nice day,

Laura

Quick & Easy Stenciled card

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today focusing on Ink on 3’s stencil set named Flora. This is a large floral and perfect to create a quick card along with the Atelier Inks. 

I started out with two pieces of cardstock. For my first one and my main card panel, I used Bee Sting Yellow and Goddess Green to ink up the leafy areas. For my second piece of cardstock, I used Bee Sting Yellow for the middle of the flower, Marigold Orange for the middle part of the flower, and then Marilyn Red for the outer part of the flower. I actually quickly trimmed the floral portion out because I wanted to add dimension and pop it up. If you wanted to skip this step, you could. 

For the card panel, I wanted to add color the panel so I blended some Peacock Blue on the edges. Even after this, I felt like something was still missing. 

I took a scrap piece of white cardstock and blended Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow together. I then trimmed two quarter inch strips from this blended piece and added it to the top and bottom. 

For my sentiment, I pulled out Lilac Dreams because there's such pretty sentiments in this stamp set. I used the Best Wishes sentiment and stamped it on black cardstock using Juicy ink. I added Arctic White embossing powder and heat set it.  

This card was so simple and easy to put together. The new stencils have been so fun to work with so I hope you're enjoying them! 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting! 

Simple Stenciled Floral Birthday Cards

Am I the only one who ALWAYS has a shortage of birthday cards? I can't be! No matter how many I make I always feel like I need more. So I made it my mission to make birthday cards whenever I can with all the amazing products that come across my desk! And guess what's on my desk today? Yummy inks and a gorgeous stencil from InkOn3!

I love the Flora Stencil! This cluster of flowers is so big you can use it as a focal point on a card ... so I did! I lined up the stencil so that it would be in the center of my card and blended on some Atelier Inks. The colors are so happy and vibrant! And the sentiment totally pops off the card!

I made yellow flowers for my first card. They're my favorite kind of flowers! I fully believe that every flower should be yellow haha! I didn't take the time to mask off the Flora Stencil before I started blending - but you could! I'm just way too lazy for that! First I blended Goddess Green Atelier Ink where the leaves are. I was careful not to blend onto the petals of the leaves. You can see the ink got onto the corners of the petals in some areas, but I'm not perfect! I added some Marilyn Red Atelier Ink to the center of the flowers and Bee Sting all over the petals. I got a little heavy handed with my Marilyn Red Atelier Ink, so I just blended it out with the Bee Sting. This turned the center color a pretty orangey/red! I love how you can blend and layer these Atelier Inks!

I created my second card the same way as I did the first. Almost. Instead of a portrait card I decided to do a landscape style. And I switched up my ink colors! For a fun twist I used Peacock Blue for the leaves, Bee Sting for the centers of the flowers, and My Jam Purple for the petals. I was careful not the blend My Jam Purple into the Bee Sting ink - but even in the areas where I overlapped a bit it didn't make a muddy brown color. Yay for Atelier Inks! Once each card was blended I used some Liquid Pixie Dust ( which I keep in a Small Watercolor Brush ) to add amazing shimmer to the flowers and leaves.

The Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set has a bunch of sentiments. But what's awesome is that they are separate so you can build them to say what you need! I used Juicy Watermark Embossing Ink to stamp "happy birthday" onto black cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment with Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. I trimmed the sentiments into strips and added them to the center of the Flora Stencil clusters with foam tape. And there you have it! Two quick, beautifully bright, stenciled birthday cards!

Thinking of You Flora Stenciled Card by Ilda

Hello, my friends, Ilda here!

Today I have a super simple card to share with you featuring the new FLORA Stencil from Ink On 3's April Release. I love that Fleurette is coming out with stencils as ink blending is so popular right now and fun to do. Plus they pair perfectly with the Atelier Inks.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I masked off the leaf areas of the image and then began ink blending. I used PEACOCK BLUE on the outer petals and then ATELIER MY PURPLE JAM ink on the inside petals of the flowers.

I then removed the masks and blended the ATELIER GODDESS GREEN ink on the leaves.

Once the ink was completely dry I stamped out the sentiment from the WATER LILY stamp set using JUICY INK and then heat set it using BLACK AS NIGHT EMB. P.

To embellish the card I added some green and blue pearls, trimmed the card panel, and popped it up using foam tape onto the card base.

I hope this simple Thinking of You card has inspired you today. This would make a great card to send a friend who you are thinking about these days. Please stay safe everyone!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
