Fall Cards with Summer Loving Erica

 

Hi guys! 

After a little bit of a hiatus, it's Erica back on the Ink On 3 blog with a couple of cards with new-to-me goodies that finally arrived after floating around the mail system for almost four months! 

The Fox & Bunny Hugs set and the Leafy Forest stencil are lovely and I got to work right away! Ooooh, what fun I had ink blending, smooshing and glitter pasting! I made so many backgrounds and below are a selection of them. The Atelier Inks created some fabulous colours. I used Bee Sting Yellow, Marigold Orange, Marilyn Red and Goddess Green. 

From the Fox & Bunny Hugs set I stamped up the bigger image with Blackout Detail Ink on Copic friendly paper, then coloured it in with a selection of markers. This I then fussycut with some scissors and I ran a dark Copic around the edges where I wasn't able to get a super clean cut with the scissors. 

I wasn't super happy with the way I did the bunny so I did the whole thing again. I went with Warm Greys for the first one. For the second bunny I used Cool Greys, and went a little bit lighter handed. I'm not sure which one I prefer... 

For sentiments I used the same ones for both cards, the hugs from the Bunny Hugs set. One I did straight onto a white card base, with Bee Sting Yellow, Marigold Orange and Marilyn Red in an ombre way. Another I did in the same colours and then cut around it.  

On the second card I used the same stamp set, only on one of the ink smooshed background. I switched up the ink colour to Twiggy Brown too. I also used a stitched rectangular diecut on that background piece. 

To finish off the clean and simple card I only added a few little heart embellishments from Trinity Stamps. I wanted the Fox & Bunny images to be the stars of the shows. 

That's it from me for today, I hope you like these cards and found some inspiration here with me. Lots of love from Erica.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Cheryl with the Inkon 3 Creative Team here to share how I made this pretty card using Thermoweb and Inkon 3 products! 

First, I cut out a 3.75”x5” rectangle using white cardstock. I placed the 6x6 Wavy Stencil over the cardstock and spread an even layer of the Deco Foil transfer gel over the stencil. I removed the stencil and set the white cardstock aside to dry completely.

Once dried, I heated up my laminator. Once ready, I cut one sheet of the Deco Foil Transfer sheets in Amethyst Watercolor that’s approximately 3.75” x 5”. I place the transfer sheet over the white cardstock, placed it in between printer paper and ran it through the laminator two times. 

Next, I cut a 4”x5.25” rectangle and die cut a small pennant out of dark purple cardstock, and a 4.75”x 1.5” rectangle out of white cardstock. From the Big Bold Magnolia Stamp set, stamp out the magnolia flowers and two leaves shown in the picture above using Twiggy Brown Atelier Ink. Fussy cut the images, and then color with your choice of medium and colors.

On the small purple pennant, stamp the sentiments “Happy Birthday” from the Fox & Bunny Hugs Clear Stamp Set using the Juicy Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. Sprinkle some Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder over the stamped sentiment and shake off any excess, then heat set the embossing powder. 

Now we are ready to assemble the card! Adhere the purple rectangle onto an A2 card base, then adhere the foiled cardstock on the purple cardstock. Adhere the rest of the pieces as shown in the photo above, be very careful with the foil as it can scratch easily! 

There you have it! The process for this card takes a while because of the transfer gel, but it is totally worth the time! And honestly, the picture doesn’t capture the full gorgeousness of the watercolor foil!

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

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 👋
