Shimmery Christmas Card

A little stamp layering with InkOn3 stamps and Atelier Inks and shimmer watercolors make a quick and easy Christmas card! 

I stamped the outlines of the birds from the Love Birds Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink repeatedly on my background until my cardstock was full of little birdies. I used the layering images for the birds and stamped them with Marilyn Red Atelier Ink to mimic the look of cardinals. There are layering stamps to fill in the tails and wings as well, but I decided to use some shimmer watercolor for a bit of sparkle. I added some gold watercolor spatters to finish off the background. 

I stamped a greeting from the Holiday Wreath Stamp Set three times with Juicy Watermark Embossing Ink and heat embossed with Gold Rush Fine Detail Embossing Powder. I trimmed each of the sentiments into small strips and popped them up near the top center of my card. 

Thanks so much for joining me! I hope you enjoyed this shimmery Christmas card! 

Just keep Swimming

Hello Everyone!

It's Ceal here to share with you today a card using one of our newest sets, Koi Pond. This set is so fun! 

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base and a panel of bristol card stock which is water friendly paper. I stamped the Koi using the Juicy Clear Embossing ink and embossed it with Gold Rush embossing powder. I watercolored them using the Karin markers and masked them off to create the background. To do that I used the new Wavy stencil and bending brushes, I also did a little ink smooshing to add some texture to it. 

Here's a little close up (above) that shows the shine of the Gold Rush embossing powder, it's my favorite!

To finish the card I added the "Just Keep Swimming" sentiment because that is what we are all having to do during this pandemic 

Raccoon Hugs - Clean and Simple Watercolor Card

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.

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.

I appreciate the time you spent here, thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
