Monochrome Roses Card

 Hi everyone! It's Cheryl with the Inkon 3 creative team here to show you a quick and simple monochrome card! Not only do I love the look of monochromatic cards, but because the color palette is so simple, it's a pretty quick color!

First, I stamped out the Triple Rose Clear Stamp onto white card stock and then fussy cut it out. Then using a paper trimmer, I cut the image in half. 

Next, I cut out a sheet of black card stock down to 4"x5.5" and then die cut the sentiment "THANKS" out of the center. Then I adhered the black card stock onto a 4"x5.5" card base, I also glued the small "triangle" piece of the letter A onto the card base. Adhere one half of the roses on the top of the card, and the other half on the bottom of the card. I added a strip of Washi tape on the bottom for a little extra accent.

Lastly, color the roses with copic markers as listed below, or your choice of coloring medium.

Pretty Lotus Decorative Phone Case

Hi Crafty friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon3 Creative team here to show a fun way to use your stamps to decorate your phone case! You'll need a clear phone case and a cut file for your phone case (I got mine from Etsy for about $2).

I precut a bunch of the inserts for the phone to have handy since each cut file can cut three inserts per 8.5x11 sheet of paper. Then stencil in a background using the Curls 6x6 Stencil, and Atelier inks in Peacock Blue and Trinity Teal.

Then stamp out the lotus from the Lotus clear stamp set using Blackout Detail Ink. Color with your choice of color medium, then fussy cut.  Adhere the Lotus onto the stenciled insert and trim off any paper that overhangs the phone insert.

Lastly, slip the insert into your clear phone case and enjoy! :)

Here For you Card

 I really love the details in the flower in the Here for You stamp set, it's definitely designed to be used with the Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink! 

On a white card base, mask off about 1/3 of the card, then stencil in a background using the Squiggles Stencil. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Victorian Velvet, Tattered Rose, and Milled Lavender.

Then I stamped out two of the flowers in the Here for You clear stamp set, colored with copic markers, and then fussy cut the image.

Next, I die cut one black and one white rectangles. On the white rectangle, I stamped out the sentiment "You are Never Alone" with Blackout Detail Ink, then on the black rectangle I stamped out "I'm here for You" with Juicy Clear Embossing Ink. Then I sprinkled some Ultra Fine Embossing Powder in Arctic white onto the embossing ink, and heat set.

Assemble the card as shown in the picture above. There you have it! A beautiful card to let your friend know that you're always there for them!

Faux Etch Art

Remember the art you can buy where it's completely black and you scratch off the black to reveal a beautiful picture and then there are other where it is back felt and you color it by Lisa Frank? This technique I used on my card totally reminds me of those art pieces. 

To create this card I started with a white card base, a black panel and a white panel. I stamped the Dogwood Flower and colored it using Copic markers, after I got it all colored I drew a frame around it and then colored it in with a black Copic marker. 

I added some Liquid Pixie Dust to give the flowers that sparkle and some glossy accents to the stem of the flower as well. I also added white gel pen to the centers 

I love how it turned out and it totally reminds me of those scratch off art pieces I had as a child 

 

Tone-on-Tone coloring - BeYOUtiful Floral Monthly Planner Layout

It's Cheryl with the Inkon 3 Creative Team here to show you how I made this BeYOUtiful monthly pages.

Did you know that the Atelier Inks are Copic Safe? This inspired me to do some tone-on-tone coloring. I think it looks super cool and it keeps the color palette simple which makes coloring super easy! 

I used a scalloped rectangle die and die cut some white card stock. On the white card stock, I stamped out the flowers from the BeYOUtiful Clear stamp set using the Peacock Blue Atelier Ink, then I stamped out the leaves from the same stamp set using the Goddess Green Atelier Ink. Next, I colored in the flower with blue copic markers and the leaves and stems with green copic markers. Then stamp the sentiment "Hello BeYOUtiful" on the lower left hand corner of the rectangle using Twiggy Brown Atelier Ink.

For my A6 planner, I cut a rectangle 6"x 4.25" out of white card stock, and punched holes on the side. Then I used the Leafy Forest Stencil, blender brushes and the Peacock Blue and Goddess Green Atelier Ink to create a beautiful background, you don't have to bring the background all the way to the center since you will cover it with the card stock with the flowers. Adhere the scalloped rectangle with the flowers onto the card stock with the Leafy Forest background.

On the monthly calendar side I stenciled in some more leafy backgrounds using Peacock Blue and Goddess Green Atelier Ink. Then I added some gold sparkly washi tape on the top of the page.

What do you think of the tone-on-tone coloring? It's not quite no-line coloring, but you get a nice softness to the image right?
