No Line Emboss Resist Technique

I have to be honest - I didn't know if today's project would work when I started making my card. In theory ... it should work - but you know how that goes! I'm calling it No Line Resist and it's SO easy! I used InkOn3 Fadeout No Line Ink and an assortment of Atelier Inks for my card!

This technique is so easy and I love the results! And you can replicate this with any stamp set in your stash!

Let's start! I used the tiny little images in the Fox & Bunny Hugs stamp set and the Forever Friends stamp set to create my background. I love using the little images in stamp sets and bringing them to life! I chose a bunch of small images and mounted them all together in a cluster on my acrylic block. I used InkOn3 Fadeout No Line Ink and repeatedly stamped the cluster of stamps until my whole background was covered.

When I use Fadeout No Line Ink for watercoloring I love how the ink grabs and traps my color making no line coloring simple and easy. My idea was to use that property of the Fadeout Ink for an entire background. In theory it should work - and it did! After my background was stamped with the Fadeout Ink I smooshed some Atelier Ink onto my work surface. I didn't want the colors to get too muddy, so I decided to use just Marilyn Red, Bee Sting Yellow, and Peacock Blue and let the colors mix to form the rest of the colors of the rainbow. I used plenty of water to the color would move and blend and look! See how the stamped images are darker! It's a tone on tone look that was so easy to do! The Fadeout Ink grabbed the Atelier Ink as I colored and trapped it leaving a darker concentration of color and the background images just pop!

Once my background was dry I put a little puddle of Liquid Pixie Dust onto my work surface and flicked on some dots of glitter all over the background.

I stamped the image from the Forever Friends stamp set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and watercolored it with Atelier Inks. I thought about using Fadeout Ink to color the image, but I thought the black out line would stand out more against the pretty background. I used a Small Fine Tip Watercolor Brush and a few colors of Atelier Ink - Marigold Orange, Twiggy Brown, and Paint It Black. I just smooshed some ink onto my work surface and picked it up with the Fine Tip Watercolor Brush. And these inks clean right up with an Ink Off Cloth!

I stamped a sentiment from the Forever Friends stamp set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink onto a die cut shape and added my image on top. A good coat of Liquid Pixie dust finishes off the card! I hope you'll give this resist technique using Fadeout No Line Ink a try!

Simple Stenciled Floral Birthday Cards

Am I the only one who ALWAYS has a shortage of birthday cards? I can't be! No matter how many I make I always feel like I need more. So I made it my mission to make birthday cards whenever I can with all the amazing products that come across my desk! And guess what's on my desk today? Yummy inks and a gorgeous stencil from InkOn3!

I love the Flora Stencil! This cluster of flowers is so big you can use it as a focal point on a card ... so I did! I lined up the stencil so that it would be in the center of my card and blended on some Atelier Inks. The colors are so happy and vibrant! And the sentiment totally pops off the card!

I made yellow flowers for my first card. They're my favorite kind of flowers! I fully believe that every flower should be yellow haha! I didn't take the time to mask off the Flora Stencil before I started blending - but you could! I'm just way too lazy for that! First I blended Goddess Green Atelier Ink where the leaves are. I was careful not to blend onto the petals of the leaves. You can see the ink got onto the corners of the petals in some areas, but I'm not perfect! I added some Marilyn Red Atelier Ink to the center of the flowers and Bee Sting all over the petals. I got a little heavy handed with my Marilyn Red Atelier Ink, so I just blended it out with the Bee Sting. This turned the center color a pretty orangey/red! I love how you can blend and layer these Atelier Inks!

I created my second card the same way as I did the first. Almost. Instead of a portrait card I decided to do a landscape style. And I switched up my ink colors! For a fun twist I used Peacock Blue for the leaves, Bee Sting for the centers of the flowers, and My Jam Purple for the petals. I was careful not the blend My Jam Purple into the Bee Sting ink - but even in the areas where I overlapped a bit it didn't make a muddy brown color. Yay for Atelier Inks! Once each card was blended I used some Liquid Pixie Dust ( which I keep in a Small Watercolor Brush ) to add amazing shimmer to the flowers and leaves.

The Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set has a bunch of sentiments. But what's awesome is that they are separate so you can build them to say what you need! I used Juicy Watermark Embossing Ink to stamp "happy birthday" onto black cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment with Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. I trimmed the sentiments into strips and added them to the center of the Flora Stencil clusters with foam tape. And there you have it! Two quick, beautifully bright, stenciled birthday cards!

Fox and Bunny Hugs - New Release

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Ink on 3’s stamp set named Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set along with the Leafy Forest stencil. These two are part of the new release and there's a bundle on sale right now, which you can find here. 

Also, today is the last day for the 25% sale that Ink on 3 is having in conjunction with the Spread Joy, Not Germs blog hop. Use the code: SPREADJOYNOTGERMS for 25% on the Ink on 3 site. 

I have a video for these two cards but generally for both my cards, I decided to use Atelier Inks re-inkers mixed with some shimmer paste, specifically Goddess Green and Bee Sting Yellow with the Leafy Forest stencil. I had leftovers of the shimmer paste mixture so I added the excess a second card. 

I colored up the Fox and Bunny Hugs main image stamped in the Blackout ink and Fadeout ink so I could do a normal coloring and no-line coloring. I wanted to create two different looks for the cards. 

If you're interested in all the steps for how these cards came together, come by the YouTube channel for the full process video HERE. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting! 

Planning with Fox & Bunny and other new Inkon3 goodies!

Inkon3 sneaked in some new products and they're pretty awesome! I'll show you how I used the adorable new Fox and Bunny stamps, and the new Leafy Forest Stencil in my planner!

  

First I masked around the rectangle on the bottom of my planner pages and applied Atelier Ink Bee Sting Yellow with a blending tool. Leaving the mask on, overlay the Leafy Forest Stencil over the yellow rectangle and stencil in the leaf pattern using the Atelier Ink Marigold Orange.

On the left page of my planner, I masked around the left-most rectangle, and applied the Marigold Orange Atelier Ink with a blending tool. Then I stamped the month onto the orange background.

Next, I stamped the large image from the Fox & Bunny Hugs Clear stamp set, and the small Fox & Bunny from the Forever Friends Clear Stamp set onto sticker paper. I fussy cut the images and then colored it in with copic markers. Then I adhered the stamps as shown in the pictures above.

Lastly, I used the leaf silhouette stamp and then three dots from the Forever Friends Clear Stamp set to add some accents around the little Fox curled up with the bunny.

Copic Colors Used:

Fox (Oranges): YR68, Y38, Y35, Y32

Fox (White): W1, W0, W000

Encouragement Card with Atelier Inks and the New Release

Hiiiii!!! I've been keeping a HUGE secret! I've joined the InkOn3 design team and I'm SO excited! Honestly I wanted to join this AMAZING team a while ago, but the timing wasn't right for me. AND NOW IT IS!! Ahhhhh!!! So let's jump right in to my first project!

I started with the NEW Leafy Forest Stencil. It's so detailed with leafy goodness! I sprayed the back with Pixie Spray and adhered it onto the front of my card and blended on some Atelier Inks. This is my VERY FIRST TIME using these inks and they are even more AMAZING than I thought they would be! They are so thick and creamy and wonderful! And I got all of this color with just 3 inks! I used Marilyn Red, Bee Sting, and Peacock Blue - the primary colors - and I made sure to overlap them to get the orange, green, and purple colors. I love that you can blend these inks together to get even more colors!

Once my background was done I thought it needed a bit more oomph. I keep some Liquid Pixie Dust in a Small Watercolor Brush, so I flicked some all over my background for subtle shine and texture. But of course that wasn't enough! I smooshed some Paint it Black Atelier Ink onto my work surface, added a bit of water, and spattered the ink onto my background.

The new Fox and Bunny stamp set is adorable! And perfect for sending a paper hug during these questionable times. I stamped the image and the sentiment onto white cardstock using Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink. This ink has been a staple in my craft room for quite some time! I love that it stamps crisp and black and you can use a variety of coloring mediums with it. I cleaned off my stamps with an Ink Off Cloth and the NEW Ink Off Stamp Cleaner. This cleaner is so fun! It comes in a stamp pad and it cleans BEAUTIFULLY!

I colored my image with Spectrum Noir Triblend alcohol markers and cut it out with scissors. I popped it up onto my card with foam tape and added a coating of Liquid Pixie Dust to the fox and bunny.

That completes my card! I hope you love this first project for InkOn3! You can head over to the InkOn3 shop to pick up these AMAZING products! I'll see you soon!
