Hi everyone! 

It's Erica back on the Ink On 3 blog today, and I have finally got my yummy new goodies! I had to use the gorgeous Triple Rose stamp set, right away. 

Ambitiously, I decided to go for a no-line colouring look. I know, nuts, right? Especially while feeling a bit rusty, but apparently there was no stopping me, so I stamped up the image with Fadeout Ink on watercolour paper. 

I had some new watercolours to swatch and try out, these are Meeden 48 colour half pan, and in all honestly, I thought I was buying a 48 colour empty pan tin. I was more than a little surprised when they showed up and actually had colours in them, lol! Happy surprise, though. 

Using these colours, I coloured in the lovely floral image. The pinks were used for two of the roses, and I used a purple-ish pink on the middle rose. Green was the obvious choice for the leaves and buds. 

I did spend quite a lot of time on this as I was feeling slow and rusty, and left it overnight to dry properly, before going back to add some more details and depth. While I did spend lots of time on this, I am not 100% happy with the results but I guess that means I need more practice. 

Usually I fill out the background a little with a darker colour to bring the eye in to the image, but this time I didn't. I left it white and clean, but I did use a stitched rectangle die to add some interest around the edges. The only thing I added was a slim banner with a sentiment from the Here For You, this was stamped up with Dove ink from Concord & 9th. Ok, so I did add a lot of iridescent sequins too, but that was it. 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed this card and will get the chance to watch the video as well. Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Dogwood Flower No Line Colouring with Erica

Hey guys!

It’s Erica back on the InkOn3 blog. How are we all doing? Everyone staying safe and well with the Corona virus outbreak? I have been practically a hermit for the last couple of weeks due to a bad back, so I’ve been doing the social distance thing already. My hands are all chapped and dry from over-washing, but better safe than sorry.

Because I have had back issues I’ve not managed to do much crafting but I’ve tried to colour along with #thedailymarker30day challenge. One thing I have been practicing is my no-line colouring. Some has been more successful, than others but it’s all fun and educational. Sometimes your mistakes will teach you more than your successes so don’t be discouraged when it doesn't turn out they way you imagined it.

Here is an example: I started this no line colouring wreath on the left and wasn’t overly happy with how it was turning out. My attempts on the right side of the wreath look so much better!

For the card I have made today, I have used the Dogwood Flower stamp and the Fadeout Ink. I’ve coloured it, and the wreath above, with Daniel Smith water colours. 

I stamped the image with the Fadeout Ink three times to make the lines very visible, with the help of my Mini MISTI. The colouring is done both with a water colour brush and a refillable brush. 

This one isn’t one of my better results, but the next one is bound to be better. The leaves I’m quite pleased with though! 

To add some interest I added some splatters to the background. I mixed two drops of Liquid Pixie Dust with a drop of Paint It Black reinker in a little tray, and went to town. To protect the image I covered it up with a little piece of paper. Usually I cut out a mask but this worked in a pinch. 

Sentiment wise I kept it simple, ‘my favorite besties’ and stamped that in Blackout ink. I managed to smudge the splatters a little, so to cover it up, I added some more. As you do.

The whole thing was then adhered to a light gray card base. A white one was too harsh, and it need a little something softer and the light gray was just perfect. Oh and to fix the sentiment, I covered up the s on ‘Besties’ to make it say ‘My Forever Bestie’. 

With that, I’m done for today. Thanks for stopping by today and spending time with me.

Lots of love, wash your hands for your health and craft for your sanity!

Tips for Coloring White Flowers + Video

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Ink On 3 blog and Happy Leap Day!  The snow in my home state has reminded me of my love for white flowers.  Achieving the look and delicacy of white flowers is made possible with Ink On 3 Fadeout Ink.  In my video below, I did a little experiment showing you the difference using Fadeout makes and its necessity for beautifully soft white (or light) flowers.

My best advice for no-line white floral coloring--practice.  Mastering your crafting tools is essential to getting the outcome you're looking for.  Having Fadeout No-Line Ink has elevated my floral coloring, and I grab it again and again for my cards.

Hey Gorgeous!

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Ink on 3’s newest stamp set debuted at Creativation called Hey Gorgeous. It's such a pretty stamp set that speaks to me! The main image from this set is obviously this gorgeous girl, which I decided to no-line color using Fadeout ink with copic markers.

There's no coordinating dies for this set but it's large enough for me to fussy cut quite easily. Then I had to figure out what to do with it. I pulled out the Atelier inks to help me create a fun background. First, I used three Atelier re-inkers to watercolor a card panel. I used Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow.

Once the watercolored panel was created, I splattered water all over since these inks are water-reactive. I also splattered some of the ink using all three colors: Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow. 

To finish off the background, I stamped out the floral images randomly using the Marilyn Red ink pad. 

For the sentiment, I stamped Hey Gorgeous using Blackout ink. I just quickly fussy cut out the larger sentiment and added the "hey" using a strip. 

I'm loving how this all came together and I'm so excited to use these inks more! They are so versatile and fun. Have you tried 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!

Simple Sweet Posies Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon3 creative team here to share a sweet and simple card using the Posies stamp set. 

I stamped the water pitcher, stem, and posies using the Fadeout No Line Coloring Detail ink onto white card stock. I love how the ink fades away, meaning no need to mask! I simply stamped where I wanted the flowers, and colored the flowers in! Once the image was colored, I fussy cut the stamped and colored image.

Copic Colors Used:

Pinks: R81, RV00, V0000

Blues: B0000, B000, B00

Blue-Greens: BG10, BG000

Greens: G43, G40, G24, G20

 

Next, I die-cut a few scalloped squares, one large square and two small ones. I used distress inks to add color to each of the squares. Then I used some water to activate the inks to give some subtle details to the background. 

Then I cut out a large scalloped rectangle using beige patterned paper. I chose beige so that it doesn't overpower the soft no-line colored image.

I then heat embossed the sentiment "You're the Best" onto the large square and then assembled the card. I adhered the large scalloped rectangle onto the base of the card. Then I adhered one small scalloped square on opposite corners of the larger rectangle. Next, I adhered the large square over the two smaller square. Once all the squares have been placed onto the card, I adhered the colored in image of the Posies in the glass pitcher.  Lastly I used some Nuvo jewel drops to add a few clear drops onto the card.

I hope you liked this tutorial! <3
