Hello, Judy Woodland here, and it's my great good pleasure to be your guest designer for our Ink On 3 Blog today.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I just like to color. One of my favorite Ink On 3 stamp sets is the Hollyhock Set, because it's so conducive to doing just that.

Here is my card:

For this card I began by stamping the image with Ink On 3 Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink onto watercolor paper. I love this ink for it's intense black color, and it is compatible with both alcohol and water based materials. Then I got out my water colors and spent some time in the zone just coloring those beautiful flowers. When I was happy with it, I cut the image out with the companion die. As a final touch I added some Liquid Pixie Dust to the centers of the flowers.

I cut a panel of white card stock and dry embossed it with a quilted embossing folder.

Then I cut the Thank You greeting from the Hollyhock companion die set. I also stamped the "my friend" greeting with Ink On 3 Juicy Clear Watermark & Embossing Ink onto black card stock, and heat embossed it with Ink On 3 Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder.

Finally, I put it all together. I want to point out that, while the Hollyhock image was meant to be used vertically, it works fine to use it horizontally as well. It's kind of fun to think outside the box, and you never know what new thing you will come up with.

I hope you have gotten some inspiration from my card. Consider coloring an image with your favorite medium and making a simple card, it's so satisfying and great fun. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time, here's celebrating your creative muse.

No-Line Coloring - Hollyhocks

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a fabulous start to the weekend! 

Today, I'm sharing a wonderful card by our Design Team member Dana Joy. She is just fantastic and created this gorgeous card with no-line coloring using Inkon3's Fadeout Ink along with the Hollyhocks stamp set. 

If you would like to see how this card came together, she did a Periscope for your viewing pleasure and a detailed blog post if you prefer to read. Don't you think this card came together so nicely? I love the details of the flowers, especially with that background! 

 Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you got some inspiration to create with this stamp set.

Hello My Friend - Gold Rush Ultra Fine Embossing Powder

Hello my Friends, Ilda here from ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com!

I am back from vacation and finally had a chance to play with the new Ultra Fine Embossing Powders from Ink On 3. I am completely in love with how these powders melt, they are AH-Mazing! If you like using Embossing Powders I'm sure you will LOVE these!

Here is how I made this card:

• I used the Juicy Ink pad to stamp the Hollyhocks onto a piece of watercolor paper.
• I then sprinkled Gold Rush Ultra Fine Embossing Powder onto the stamped images and melted the powder with a heat gun.  
• Next, I colored in the images with Migello Mission Gold Watercolors.
• Once the panel was all colored and dry I trimmed the edges to fit onto an A2 card front. I then inked the edges of the panel with Juicy Ink and then embossed them with the Gold Rush Powder.
• For the sentiment, I used the standalone die from the Dogwood flower die set and embossed it with a couple of coats of Gold Rush Embossing Powder.
• I also stamped out the "my friend" from the Hollyhocks set using Juicy Ink onto a piece of black cardstock that then once again embossed with Gold Rush. 

Here is a close up of the Gold Rush Powders melted on the card 😍

Hope you were inspired by this friendship card today.  For more inspiration using the NEW Ultrafine Embossing Powders, check out the previous post on this Blog.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
