It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing this card using the new Lotus stamp set, Y'all it is so pretty when it's colored up.
I used some Graphit alcohol markers to color it and then masked it off so I could create a background. If you have followed me at all you know how much I love using stencils to create a background. For this background I used the Pondie stencil and Trinity Teal Atelier ink blended with brushes starting darker at the bottom and fading as I went up.
To finish the card I removed the mask and added a sentiment from the same set that I heat embossed using our Juicy Clear embossing pad and some Arctic White embossing powder on a black strip.
Hi! It's Lynnea! I have another easy way to add faux watercolor to your cards with Atelier Inks from InkOn3. It's more smooshing! But this time with an acrylic block!
I am back at the ink smooshing! But this time I found a way to better control the ink by using an acrylic block! I started by heat embossing the large Triple Rose Stamp onto watercolor cardstock using my InkOn3 Juicy Watermark Emboss Ink and Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. This will better allow me to see how much color I need to add to my panel. Plus the heat embossed portions sort of "trap" colors making the color darker in areas and lighter in others.
I used three colors of Atelier Ink - Marilyn Red, Peacock Blue, and My Jam Purple. I chose these colors purposely because no matter how they mix they won't make a brown color. I smooshed the colors onto my acrylic block and spritzed with water and pressed them onto a piece of watercolor cardstock holding the block in place until the color had a chance to "grip" the paper. I kept adding color until the whole background was full of GORGEOUS color! I added flicks of clean water as well as Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink for texture.
I completed the card by adding a white die cut frame as well as a die cut sentiment. My stamped sentiment strip is from the Here for You Stamp Set. I've been using it for all of my sentiments lately! Thanks for joining me!
Today I have a cute Triple Rose Mini Slimline Friendship Card to share with you, featuring both of the latest stamp sets released from Inkon3. I think I may have a new obsession with mini Slimline's, they are so cute IRL and way easier to photograph!
CARD RECIPE
Stamp TRIPLE ROSE out onto Copic-friendly paper first using BLACKOUT INK. (This just makes it easier to see your lines and won't damage your Copics if you emboss first) Leave the stamp in the positioning tool as you be using it again later.
Color in Roses using Copic markers or desired medium.
Once the coloring is complete and Ink is dry, use an anti-static powder bag to ensure the static is removed from the image.
Place the colored image back into the stamping tool.
Ink up stamp this time with JUICY INK and stamp image again.
I started off creating a background using Atelier Inks to create a rainbow background: Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow, Goddess Green, Peacock Blue and My Jam Purple. I used water to splatter all over since the inks are water reactive. I also used the little star stamp and used the matching color to stamp them in their matching area.

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.
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!
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
Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today focusing on Ink on 3’s stencil set named Flora. This is a large floral and perfect to create a quick card along with the Atelier Inks.
I started out with two pieces of cardstock. For my first one and my main card panel, I used Bee Sting Yellow and Goddess Green to ink up the leafy areas. For my second piece of cardstock, I used Bee Sting Yellow for the middle of the flower, Marigold Orange for the middle part of the flower, and then Marilyn Red for the outer part of the flower. I actually quickly trimmed the floral portion out because I wanted to add dimension and pop it up. If you wanted to skip this step, you could.
For the card panel, I wanted to add color the panel so I blended some Peacock Blue on the edges. Even after this, I felt like something was still missing.
I took a scrap piece of white cardstock and blended Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow together. I then trimmed two quarter inch strips from this blended piece and added it to the top and bottom.
For my sentiment, I pulled out Lilac Dreams because there's such pretty sentiments in this stamp set. I used the Best Wishes sentiment and stamped it on black cardstock using Juicy ink. I added Arctic White embossing powder and heat set it.
This card was so simple and easy to put together. The new stencils have been so fun to work with so I hope you're enjoying them!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting!
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!
Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Ink on 3’s stamp set named, Heels to You. I previously had shared a blog post featuring this same set last month focusing on the floral images in this stamp set. I still had the shoe to create a card with and now, I put together a fun card using it!
Because this shoe is such a large image, I wanted it to be the focus of the card along with a funny sentiment. I also thought a background would need to be rather simple to not distract from the main image and sentiments. I stamped out the floral image from Heels to You using Juicy ink along with Crystal Clear embossing powder all over on a piece of light purple cardstock.
To add a bit of interest to this background, I pulled out My Jam Purple and Paint It Black Atelier Inks to blend around the edges of the background panel. I think it created fun dimension and also made your eyes lead straight to the middle of the card.
Once I had the background panel ready, I used this fun sentiment from my stash and stamped it with Blackout Ink. I trimmed it out and added it to fill up the rest of the card. To finish off this card, I added some embellishments and I really love this card!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting!
Hi everyone! Today, we have Judy joining with us with a new card! She'll be with us every other month to share her designs! Please give her a follow over at her blog.
---------------------------------
Hello, Judy Woodland here, and it's my great good pleasure to be guest designing for the blog post today. I have been in LOVE with the Big Bold Magnolias stamp set for awhile, and was so happy when I finally got a chance to color it up for a card. PLUS, I could use the Atelier Re-inkers to do it. BONUS!!!!
Here is my card:
I began by stamping the flowers on watercolor paper with Ink On 3 Blackout Detail Ink. I then used the re-inkers as watercolors and laid down the color. I used My Jam Purple, Marilyn Red, Peacock Blue, Goddess Green, Bee Sting Yellow and Twiggy Brown.
Then I fussy cut all the flowers out.
The greeting was stamped on a die cut panel which had been washed with My Jam Purple and Peacock Blue ink. I used a greeting from the Dogwood Flower Stamp Set and heat embossed it with Chrome Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. The background panel was stamped with a dragonfly image from the Water Lilies Stamp set on some nice gray card stock. I used Juicy Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with a glitter embossing powder.
Finally I was ready to put the card all together.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have gotten some inspiration from my card. Those Atelier Inks are THE BOMB for watercoloring, I highly recommend you trying them out.
Until next time, here's celebrating your Creative Muse!!
