Dripping Roses Tutorial with Video! for Ink on

Hello and thanks for stopping by! Today I'm happy to share a project with you using the Triple Roses stamp set and Atelier Inks with a fun technique, including a video.

Using a fun technique to create a handmade card is half the pleasure for me. Traditional watercoloring with Atelier Ink Refills are one of my favorites but it's cool to have something different at times. In the recent release, Ink on 3 has a beautiful new stamp set called Triple Roses. There are giant blossoms that are really versatile to color. Perfect for a fun technique!

I call this dripping roses because it's like the name, the color drips from the edges which are reminiscent of the painted roses from Alice in Wonderland. It can be created by first stamping with Ink on 3's Fadeout Ink pad on watercolor paper. Once stamped and dry, use a paint brush or a water brush from Ink on 3 to add color from Atelier Ink Refills. I keep a paint palette full of them all the time. The Fadeout ink picks up the color and the stamped lines change! Then hit this with a heat tool until dry and add some drips of ink at the edges. Be sure to check out the video tutorial for a full process on coloring this card.

Here is an easy step by step how-to video for creating this card.

Using Atelier Inks with a Gel Press

Can you believe I've never used a Gel Press? I'm jumping on the band wagon and putting my Atelier Inks from InkOn3 to the test! 

I am ALL about easy cards and easy techniques - especially when techniques result in more than one card. I got THREE backgrounds out of one go with the Gel Press! That's a win in my book! 

Be sure to check out my video at the beginning of this post for a full tutorial. This was LITERALLY my first time using my Gel Press and I'm obsessed! I watched a few tutorials on YouTube and decided to give it a try with my Atelier Inks. I haven't seen it done with these inks and you NEED to try them! Look how colorful my backgrounds are! And you can mix and match ink colors to get any type of background you want! 

I inked up my Gel Press, gave it a quick once over with my brayer, placed a stencil on top, and then rubbed a piece of cardstock over the press. That gives me one impression! Then I removed the stencil and placed a second piece of cardstock on my press. That gives me TWO impressions! I realized my stencil still had so much Atelier inky goodness, so I gave it a spritz with water and pressed another piece of cardstock onto the stencil. That gives me THREE backgrounds total! 

I wanted to keep the focus on the pretty Atelier Ink background, so I trimmed down my panels, added a stamped sentiment with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink, and matted the panel with black cardstock. Easy and simple! This is definitely a technique that I'm going to continue to practice. Thanks for joining me! 

No Line Emboss Resist Technique

I have to be honest - I didn't know if today's project would work when I started making my card. In theory ... it should work - but you know how that goes! I'm calling it No Line Resist and it's SO easy! I used InkOn3 Fadeout No Line Ink and an assortment of Atelier Inks for my card!

This technique is so easy and I love the results! And you can replicate this with any stamp set in your stash!

Let's start! I used the tiny little images in the Fox & Bunny Hugs stamp set and the Forever Friends stamp set to create my background. I love using the little images in stamp sets and bringing them to life! I chose a bunch of small images and mounted them all together in a cluster on my acrylic block. I used InkOn3 Fadeout No Line Ink and repeatedly stamped the cluster of stamps until my whole background was covered.

When I use Fadeout No Line Ink for watercoloring I love how the ink grabs and traps my color making no line coloring simple and easy. My idea was to use that property of the Fadeout Ink for an entire background. In theory it should work - and it did! After my background was stamped with the Fadeout Ink I smooshed some Atelier Ink onto my work surface. I didn't want the colors to get too muddy, so I decided to use just Marilyn Red, Bee Sting Yellow, and Peacock Blue and let the colors mix to form the rest of the colors of the rainbow. I used plenty of water to the color would move and blend and look! See how the stamped images are darker! It's a tone on tone look that was so easy to do! The Fadeout Ink grabbed the Atelier Ink as I colored and trapped it leaving a darker concentration of color and the background images just pop!

Once my background was dry I put a little puddle of Liquid Pixie Dust onto my work surface and flicked on some dots of glitter all over the background.

I stamped the image from the Forever Friends stamp set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and watercolored it with Atelier Inks. I thought about using Fadeout Ink to color the image, but I thought the black out line would stand out more against the pretty background. I used a Small Fine Tip Watercolor Brush and a few colors of Atelier Ink - Marigold Orange, Twiggy Brown, and Paint It Black. I just smooshed some ink onto my work surface and picked it up with the Fine Tip Watercolor Brush. And these inks clean right up with an Ink Off Cloth!

I stamped a sentiment from the Forever Friends stamp set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink onto a die cut shape and added my image on top. A good coat of Liquid Pixie dust finishes off the card! I hope you'll give this resist technique using Fadeout No Line Ink a try!
