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. 

Stamping, Blending, No Line Water Coloring with Atelier Inks

Hello friends, Ilda here!

Today I am sharing the cutest no line colored holiday card that I created while testing out the new Atelier Inks from Ink On 3. You all, these inks are like nothing you have used before, I can see why they took 2 years to develop. They are truly unique because of their versatility! They stamp, they blend, they are water-reactive, you can watercolor with them and just look how bright they are 😍 And of my favorite thing about them is that they work so well with Fadeout Ink for no-line coloring!

CARD DETAILS

I started off this card by stamping out and my images using Fadeout Ink and doing some masking to add a hat, mittens and the block of Ice from the Snow Buddies Stamp Set to the Ducky from Platy-rific Pondies.

I then watercolored the images in using the Atelier Inks. I loved how buttery smooth the inks felt when I blended them on to the paper and how well I could layer the colors. To add shadows to some of the areas I used Twiggy Brown and was pleasantly surprised at how well it blended with the previous colors.

Once I had finished water coloring I then stamped out some snowflakes from the Merry and Bright set using Juicy Ink and then heat set them using Arctic White Ultra Powder. Since the background was white this made it difficult to see the snowflakes, so using very light pressure I blended some of the Atelier Peacock Blue ink around the snowflakes to make them more visible. I first blended onto some scratch paper before blending it to the background and then I also used a dry paper towel to clean off any ink that was on the embossed snowflakes.

The sentiments I used also come from the Merry and Bright set that stamped using a stamping block, but I wished I had used the Misti so I could have stamped it twice to get more of a solid impression. To finish off the scene, I added water under the ice block also using the Atelier Peacock Blue ink and slightly touched the bottom of the sentiment to make it look like the letters were melting into the water. 

To finish off the image I used liquid pixie dust on the ice block to add some sparkle and added glossy accents to the ducky's beak. To darken the eyes I used a fine line marker and for highlights, I used a white gel pen.

Here is a closer look at this cutie. Just look at all the different shades of blue I got using only Atelier Peacock Blue ink pad. Blended sky, watercolored the hat, mitts, ice, water, and stamped out the sentiment. Unreal right!? And I love how it goes from an aqua like color to a dark blue. This time I didn't use ink from the Reinkers but if I had you probably would have seen even more gradients in the colors.

I hope you found this post informative. I highly recommend these inks if you are looking for versatile inks that are artist-grade, bright and very affordable. For more information on them please visit the Inkon3.com.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Heels to You Birthday Card by Ilda

Heels to you my Friends, Ilda here with you today on the Ink On 3 Blog!

I have another beautiful Birthday Card featuring the very girly Heels to You Stamp and Die set from Ink On 3.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the heel using Blackout Ink and then colored it in using Copic Markers. I then die cut the high heel out using the coordinating die.

For the background, I stamped out the magnolias in a random pattern and then added some shimmer to them using Liquid Pixie Dust. For the sentiment, I used 2 sets to stamp out the greeting... the Happy Birthday comes from the Bunny Hugs set and the Beautiful Friends comes from the Heels to You set. Initially, I had stamped the sentiment out using Blackout Ink but since I wanted to add a bit of shine to the letters, I restamped it using Juicy Ink and then heat set that with the Crystal Clear embossing powder.

Check out the sparkly goodness on the flowers 😍

For finishing details I added a few Onyx Crystals and Glossy Accents to the center of the magnolia.
