Atelier Inks & Big Bold Magnolias

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with featuring Ink on 3's new Atelier inks! The card I'm featuring today was entirely colored using the new Atelier inks plus the beloved Blackout hybrid ink.

Here's a little summary of the inks and what they can do:

• Artist Grade Quality
• Specialty, Water Reactive, Fusion Ink, Acid-free and archival
• Water coloring (remains bright even after dry)
• Stamping, Blending, Embossing
• Color Layering
• Artistic, Bright, Crisp Impressions,
• Alcohol / Copic Marker friendly (air dry or heat set)
• Full coverage on solid stamp images
• Fun effects - After inking surface, spritz with water.
• Buttery Smooth - Create beautiful blended backgrounds, using a blending tool or brush.
• Blend over stencils.
• Works on most paper surfaces.

For my card today, I'm using the inks alongside the Big Bold Magnolias stamp set, which were stamped out using Blackout hybrid ink. I'm only using THREE colors to color up this entire card: Marilyn Red, Bee Sting Yellow, and Goddess Green. I decided to use the re-inkers because I wanted to watercolor.

I started off with the background and painted an ombre using Marilyn Red and Bee Sting Yellow. The two colors blended together to create a smooth ombre look without any grittiness or chalkiness. I was especially shocked by how vibrant the yellow was! 

Next, I went ahead and used the three colors (Marilyn Red, Bee Sting Yellow, and Goddess Green) to color in the floral images. I'm definitely not a pro at watercoloring, but these were really easy to use.I found that the lack of water spots really played a role in these inks. I have a tendency to end up with random spots that dried but the inks were super forgiving. 

I wanted to use a sentiment from the Heels to You stamp set. For the die cut words, I actually used the Bee Sting ink pad and covered a piece of white cardstock and then die cut the words "Beautiful" and "Friend" from the Heels to You coordinating die set.   You can really see the vibrancy of the yellow from the ink pad! 

I added a few embellishments to the card and that finished up the card. I'm loving how I can use the same medium to color up an entire card. Have you checked out the inks yet? My first impression is that they are pretty amazing!

Big Bold Magnolias - No Line Coloring

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Inkon3’s new release with the amazing stamp set named, Big Bold Magnolias along with the coordinating dies. If you didn't hop along with us during our blog hop, you definitely should check it out because there have been some fabulous projects using this set!

I previously had created two other cards using this set, but I just had to pull it out again to create another one. This time, I decided to take on some no-line coloring. Inkon3 has the fabulous Fadeout ink for no-line coloring. To start, I went ahead and stamped out all the images from the set, except for the largest magnolia. The last two projects, I had focused on the largest one so this time, I wanted to pay attention to the rest of the images from the set. 

Once I had stamped them out, I went in with some purple copic markers. For me, it's easiest to lay down the darkest color first so I know where all the shadows lay. I'll then work out to my lightest color. 

I tend to fussy cut a lot but for no-line coloring images, I prefer using the coordinating dies. It leaves that really nice white border so it really makes the images pop. 

For the background, I just did a few washes of purple watercolor. Nothing very fancy at all. I did keep the watercolor at the bottom left of the card where I have the flowers laid out. Before glueing my flowers down, I added some gold splatter. 

I wanted to tie in my gold splatter, so I decided to use the Juicy ink to cover a piece of white cardstock and added Gold Rush embossing powder. By doing this, I could use the standalone "Beautiful" sentiment from Heels to you die set. For the coordinating sentiment, I stamped the "You're" with Juicy ink and heat embossed with the Gold Rush embossing powder so everything matched up.

I hope you enjoyed this card I shared today and make sure to pick up your set too! This is so gorgeous and so fun to color!
