Heat Embossing Surprise with Guest Designer Laura

Hi everyone! It's Laura Volpes here and today I am back with my second post as a Guest Designer for InkOn3 this month! I experimented some more with the Atelier Inks, and this time I wanted to try using them with heat embossing. The results were surprising - make sure to check out the video at the end of this post to see what happened!

For the background of my card I used the Leafy Forest Stencil. I started by blending some My Jam Purple ink through the stencil on some watercolor cardstock. I then heat embossed the leaves with clear embossing powder, so that I could go over the entire background with Peacock Blue ink without covering the leaves. I also added some shimmer with Liquid Pixie Dust.

For my focal point today I used the Forever Friends stamp set. I stamped the image with InkOn3 Blackout ink and I colored it with Karin Brush Markers Pro. Here is a list of the markers I used

• Fox: Copper Brow, Warm Grey 1, Blush
• Bunny: Warm Grey 3, Blush

Once I was done coloring, I cut out the image with my scissors.

I die cut a panel out of some white cardstock and I glued it to the background. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder over some black cardstock and I finished off the card with some blue crystals.

Don't forget to check out my video for a step by step tutorial and to see what happened with my heat embossing experiment!

Rainbow Hugs Friendship Card | No Line Coloring Using Atelier Inks

Hello my Friends, Ilda here!

I hope you all are doing well and have had a wonderful week. I'm sure by now you all know how much I love rainbows, for me rainbows symbolize hope and happiness to come. So I thought it was fitting to add a rainbow in today's friendship card. I pray this Pandemic will end soon so we can hug our families and friends again.

CARD DETAILS 

To begin, I stamped out the cute image from the new FOX AND BUNNY HUGS stamp set using FADEOUT INK. I then lightly drew the rainbow around the fox and bunny image.

I then used both the Atelier Re-inkers and the inkpads to color the images in. I found it easiest to add a drop of ink from the re-inkers onto a paint palette and dilute it with another drop of water. Where I needed a touch of color I picked up ink directly from the ink pad. (See thumbnails below for all the colors used). Once the image was completely dry I added pencil detail for an added layer of shading.

To create the grass I masked off the area under the images and then blended out the area using the ATELIER GODDESS GREEN ink. I then spritzed the area and picked up the water with a paper towel to distress the area. To complete the grass, I added some flicked grass blades using a water brush. To the sky, I added clean water and then added a touch of blue ink from the ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE ink pad. 

I then finished the card by stamping out the Hugs from the FOX AND BUNNY HUGS and then the little butterflies from the FOREVER FRIENDS using JUICY INK and heat setting them using CHROME EMB PWD. 

I hope this Rainbow Hugs Friendship Card inspired you today and for those of you that need a hug right now during this time, I am sending you one too.

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