Hi everyone, welcome back to the Ink On 3 blog! It's Jaycee Gaspar, and today I wanted to share the creative process on this simple scene using the Ink On 3 - Raccoon Hugs Stamp and Die Set. The goal for this project was to make something super quick and easy, and in my case I used a scrap watercolor panel from a previous project to make this card super simple. Do you all have a scrap drawer full of small bits of paper? I feel like if I don't try to use these smaller scraps, then I'm hoarding. I don't want to admit I have a trash drawer.
This scrap blue ombré watercolor panel was made with Windsor and Newton Payne's Grey (my favorite color by the way). I watercolored the cute little sleeping raccoon in a mix of black and sepia outlined with Ink On 3 - Blackout Detail Ink. This ink is great because it's crisp like a pigment ink, but dries super fast like a dye ink and is waterproof--perfect for watercolor projects. I used the coordinating Ink On 3 - Raccoon Hugs Die Set to cut out the image once dry. Before assembling the card I used the small heart images in the same stamp set and created "vellum tape" to act like a decorative scotch tape to anchor the watercolor panel on to my ink splattered background. I used Ink On 3 - Gold Rush Embossing Powder and Juicy Clear Embossing Ink to make this. I love the script sentiments from the stamp set, but lately I've been OBSESSED with my embossed label maker. So I thought it was fitting to make my own sentiment and add it to my project. I added a bundle of black embroidery thread to the back of the raccoon image to break up and balance the hard angles all over the project.
