Stamp Silhouettes with Guest Designer Judy

Hello, it's Judy here, and I am so honored to once again be guest designing here on Ink On 3. Today I have a fun technique for you, turning your stamp into a silhouette. Here's my card:

To begin, I made an interesting background by masking off a piece of card stock and sponging various inks using a piece of plastic so that I could get a defining edge. Here I used Ink On 3 Peacock Blue, Marilyn Red and My Jam Purple.

 Here is how it looks when completed.

Next I stamped the Koi fish from the Koi Pond stamp set onto my sponged background, using my MISTI.

Then I colored the fish in with my black Copic Marker. And voile, a silhouette.

For a final touch, I added some embellishments with black and white markers. Then I stamped the Hugs greeting with a stamp from the Fox and Bunny Hugs stamp set. I also attached a few gems from Trinity Stamps called Bubble Blower.

This is super fun. It encourages you to look at your stamps in a whole new way, I hope you will try it.

Until next time, here's celebrating your Creative Muse.

Rainbow Koi

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today sharing two cards using with Ink on 3’s stamp set named Koi Pond along with the Pondie and Wavy stencil. 

Using Fadeout ink, I stamped koi fish from the Koi Pond stamp set on watercolor paper. After trying out these technique in a previous card, I wanted to play a little more with unconventional colors that turned into rainbow colors.

I used the Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow, Goddess Green, Peacock Blue, and My Jam Purple re-inkers to watercolor the fish on the panel using two colors for each fish. The koi fish stamps have a ton of details so I loved how Fadeout ink absorbs the colors I place on top of it.

For my first card, I used the Wavy stencil along with the Atelier inks to ink blend a rainbow panel. I used Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow, Goddess Green, Peacock Blue, and My Jam Purple. I used three of the koi fish for this panel. I used the sentiment from Koi Pond using Blackout Ink on white cardstock and matted it on black cardstock.  

For my second card, I used the Pondie stencil along with My Jam Purple, Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow to add stripes of these colors to match the two fish for this panel. I stamped the sentiments from Hey Gorgeous on a thicker black strip of cardstock using Juicy Ink and added Artic White embossing powder so I could heat emboss it.

If you're interested, you can watch my process over on Ink on 3's YouTube channel.

Hello everyone,

It's Ceal here to share with you a card using the Pondie Stencil, the Koi Pond stamp set and some products by Thermoweb. 

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a panel of bristol cardstock. I sprayed the Pondie stencil with Pixie Spray and then laid it on the panel of bristol. Using the Stencil Pal, I covered the entire stencil with Transfer Gel and allowed it to dry. Next I covered it with the Lapis Watercolor transfer sheet and ran it through the laminator. I stamped the koi on bristol cardstock  using the Juicy embossing ink and embossed them with Gold Rush powder and watercolored them using the Bee Sting Yellow , Marigold Orange and Marilyn Red Atelier inks. 

To finish the card I added the embossed greeting and popped the koi up with foam tape.

Koi Pondie Watercolor Panel

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Ink on 3’s stamp set named Koi Pond along with the Pondie stencil. 

Using Fadeout ink, I stamped a ton of the koi fish from the Koi Pond stamp set on an A2 panel. I wanted to test out my hand at watercoloring over Fadeout ink for a soft look. The koi fish stamps have a ton of details so I thought it would be perfect for this technique.

I used the Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow re-inkers to watercolor the fish on the panel. For the water, I went in with Peacock Blue to fill up the space. It was really easy to watercolor the fish because by stamping with Fadeout ink, the little details on the fish absorbs the ink color you layer on top.

To complete this card, I used the Pondie stencil on dark blue cardstock with Juicy Ink. Juicy is an ink used for watermarking or heat embossing. In this case, I wanted to achieve the watermark effect. I trimmed this down to a .75 inch strip and 1.5 inch strip, placing them on the left and right of the watercolored panel so the fish would peek through.

Isn't that so fun? Pondie has a lot of details and I didn't want to distract from the watercolor panel so I thought it was so subtle and pretty.

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

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 

Koi Pond Inspired Friendship Cards by Ilda

Happy Friday Peeps, Ilda here!

Today I am sharing a trio of cards inspired by the new KOI POND stamp set from Ink On 3.  I am in love with the latest release, which by the way I just received not too long ago because snail mail is really real right now people😏 Thanks Covid!

CARD DETAILS

The first card I created was this shaker card. I first stamped out the fish using the FADEOUT INK onto Bristol Paper. I then colored them in using a variety of ATELIER INKS, I used every color on them listed below in the Supply section. 

Next, I masked the fish and added a very light blend of blue using the new WAVY STENCIL and ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE ink.

I then stamped out the Lilly pads using ATELIER GODDESS GREEN by doing some second and third generation stamping to get the gradient shades. The ripples and bubbles were stamped using the ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE ink and just blurred and colored in with a water brush. 

The sentiment stamped in the center also comes from the KOI POND set that I stamped using BLACKOUT INK.

Before adding the shaker window,  I added a layer of LIQID PIXIE DUST to all the KOI fish for sparkle.

I then used a Rectangle Frame to create the window for the shaker panel that I filled with clear sequin bits to allow the colors to shine.

This next card was so simple to make and I love the results.

I began by adding a subtle green color of ATELIER GODDESS GREEN using the WAVY STENCIL. I then moved the stencil and repeated the process, this time using ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE. Before removing the stencil I added a layer of Glimmer Paste, removed the stencil, and allowed it to dry.

I then finished off this simple card by adding the stamped sentiment on the card from the KOI POND set and adding a few clear bubbles.

For this final card, I started by blending ATELIER BEE STING YELLOW, ATELIER MARILYN RED, and ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE together and overlapping them in areas to create the blended colors on the PONDIE STENCIL. Before removing the stencil I added a layer of glimmer paste and then set it aside to dry.

I then stamped out one of the KOI using JUICY INK, and then heat set it using GOLD RUSH EMB.PWD. I then used the same 3 colors that I used on the background to color the fish in. Once it was dry I fussy cut the fish out.

The sentiment comes from two older sets, the Hey from HEY GORGEOUS and the Friend from HEELS TO YOU set that were stamped again using JUICY INK, and then heat set it using GOLD RUSH EMB.PWD.

To finish this card, I popped the Koi onto a bed of coiled foil thread and added some iridescent bubbles.

Hope this trio of Koi Pond friendship cards inspired you today. 

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
