Easy Masking with Dies

I love easy techniques and I have an easy masked background to share with you! I used Atelier Inks and some Reverse Confetti stamps and dies for this wintery card. 

I stamped a bunch of snowflakes all over my card with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and then used the coordinating die set to cut masks for each image from masking paper. 

I placed the masks over the stamped images and then pulled out some Atelier Inks to blend over my background. I started with My Jam Purple at the bottom, Trinity Teal in the middle, and Sweet Petunia Pink at the top. I added some spatters of shimmer watercolor and removed the masks. I love the look! The masks leave a sort of 'halo' around the stamped images that's so fun! 

I planned to make this a one layer card, but I forgot to stamp a sentiment when I was stamping the snowflakes, so I stamped one onto white cardstock, trimmed it out, and popped it up onto my card. 

Thanks so much for joining me! I'll see you soon! 

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! :)

Products Used:

Lotus 4x6 Clear Stamp Set

Curls 6x6 Stencil

Atelier Inks - Peacock Blue

Atelier Inks - Trinity Teal

Blackout Detail Ink

Lotus

 

Hello Everyone! 

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. 

Thanks for stopping by!

until next time, Happy Crafting!

Atelier Ink Chevron Valentine's Day Card

Hi, it's Lynnea! Sometimes I focus so much on fun techniques that I forget the amazingness of simple solid stamping! I love the smoothness of the InkOn3 Atelier Inks! I used the two new colors to stamp a pretty chevron background. 

Let's start with that pretty, colorful background! The InkOn3 Atelier Inks are great for all kinds of stamping - detail, sentiments, etc - but I really love to show them off with solid stamping! They are gorgeous and smooth from the first impression! I used the Pinkfresh Studio Nested Chevron Background Stamp to build my background. I alternated the chevrons between the new Sweet Petunia Pink and Trinity Teal Atelier Inks. I just LOVE this color combo! 

I used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink to stamp a cute little gnome image as well as a sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Gnome One Like You Stamp Set and colored him with Copic Markers. I covered the image with some Liquid Pixie Dust for all kinds of shimmer! I keep a little bit in a Small Fine Tip Water Brush Pen so that I can easily paint shimmer onto my colored images. 

I trimmed down my background panel to be slightly smaller than my card base and popped it up with foam and added my cute colored image in the center of the card. That's it! Cute and simple! I love that multicolored stamped background! 

Boujee Kisses Card

Big, bold, boujee kisses to you! The Bad & Boujee Stamp Set from InkOn3 is definitely one of my favorites for Valentine's Day! 

I love the two new colors of Atelier Ink from InkOn3 - Sweet Petunia Pink and Trinity Teal. They pair together beautifully! And who doesn't love a nice bright pink lip?! I used the solid lip image from the Bad & Boujee Stamp Set and stamped a cascading line of lips using Sweet Petunia Pink Atelier Ink from the top right to the bottom left. 

I stamped the perfume bottle from the Bad & Boujee Stamp Set using Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink onto white cardstock. I chose my Copic markers to match the Trinity Teal Atelier Ink and colored in the bottle and used the coordinating Bad & Boujee Die Set to cut it out. I stamped the lips once more with Juicy Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink and heat embossed it with Gold Rush Ultra Fine Embossing Powder then cut it out. 

I die cut the kisses word die from the Bad & Boujee Die Set and added some color to the bottom with Trinity Teal Atelier Ink. I used a blender brush and kept the color concentrated towards the bottom and lighter at the middle, fading to white at the top of the die cut sentiment. I arranged all three elements onto my cascading lips card front. 

No boujee card is complete without some Liquid Pixie Dust! I covered the perfume bottle as well as the sentiment with a coating of the magical shimmer to finish the card. Thanks for peeking at my card! I hope this inspires you to be a bit boujee today! 

Basic Starter Watercoloring with Guest Designer Melinda

Happy hump day beautiful people! Today I’m going to share a card technique that I love because the painting is pretty quick and simple. This one will be great for those of you learning to watercolor.

* Cut card base 4x9 inches and top piece at 3 3/4x 8 3/4 inches
* Take the Pondie stencil and some texture paste and smear across the center of your top piece. Set aside to dry while you make the rest of the card.
* Cut 6 1/2 x 8 inch piece of watercolor paper and lay down the large floral and the leaves in the lower left corner of your paper. Stamp the flower with My Jam Purple and the leaves in Trinity Teal. The bud I stamped the top in purple and the lower part with the teal. Flip your paper and repeat the stamping. If you have a stamp positioner leave your stamps in position. If you don’t, no worries you’ll just skip a step.
* Smear some Peacock Blue, My Jam Purple, Trinity Teal and Goddess Green Atelier inks on your craft mat or a plate like I used. Wet the whole flower with your water brush, pick up bits of blue and purple, dab them randomly and just let the ink flow and do it’s thing. Paint the leaves with teal and green.
* After you color everything let it dry. Repeat the stamping process to bring back the detail. Skip this if you don’t have a positioner.
* Move your stamps to the lower right corner and repeat the above steps.
* Stamp the centers of the large flower in black and use a black pen for your bud. Add some white gel pen  highlights.
* Fussy cut everything out and set aside the extra flower and bud. I used all my leaves.
* I used a slim line frame to frame my center and arranged the flowers and leaves until I was happy with the look. I popped one  of the large flowers at each corner and glued everything else to the top panel. I needed a birthday card so I used this sentiment, that like the frame was kicking around on my desk.

I hope you’ll give this technique a try. It’s great for playing around with and getting a feel for watercolors. Have a great rest of the week and be well!

New Atelier Inks - Inspiration Week, Day 6: 3 Different Cards

Welcome to Ink on 3's new ink inspiration week! Every day, we'll be sharing projects here on the blog so make sure you visit us daily for new projects and inspiration. Also, if you leave a comment on this blog post, you'll have a chance to win a $25 gift card. We will announce the winner between November 7-10. 

At the end of the week, we will be having an instagram hop on October 30, 2020 and we'll be giving away THREE $25 gift cards. Keep your eyes peeled! Be sure to visit us over on Instagram to leave a comment for a chance to win. 

For today's blog post, we have Ilda and Ceal each sharing a fun project. 

For my card today, Ilda wanted to showcase how these colors blended and fit into the rainbow. So of course she had to make a rainbow card (my favorite kind). She began by blending out SWEET PETUNIA, MARILYN RED, MARIGOLD ORANGE, BEE STING YELLOW, GODDESS GREEN, TRINITY TEAL, PEACOCK BLUE, and MY PURPLE JAM Atelier Inks onto a piece of Bristol paper. She then sprayed the background with water and picked up the water droplets with a paper towel.

Once the paper was dry, she used an antistatic powder bag to prepare the paper for embossing. Then she stamped out the inside details of the butterfly wings from the SHINE BRIGHT set using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it by adding some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER. 

Next, she stamped the outer image of the butterfly using BLACKOUT INK. To the inside of each butterfly, she then painted on some LIQUID PIXIE DUST.

To finish off this colorful card, she stamped the sentiment onto a black banner once again using the ATELIER SHARK TOOTH White ink, and heat set it using some ARCTIC WHITE POWDER. 

------- 

For Ceal's project, she used the BeYoutiful stamp set along with the new inks. She ink blended the background and then used some water to splatter. Atelier Inks are water reactive, so you can create a fun textured background. 

Don't you love when the colors blend together? It creates such a nice hue! 

--------------------------

We also have Erica on the blog sharing TWO last gorgeous cards. Here's here thoughts! 

It's Erica on the Ink On 3 blog today with a couple of cards made with the stunning new Atelier Ink colours Trinity Teal and Sweet Petunia Pink. If you haven't seen any of the other posts this week, with all the projects from the DT, make sure you check them out too! 

I love water colouring with my re-inkers so I decided to do some ombre backgrounds to really let each colour be the star of the card.

Each piece was done by simply swooshing the colours back and forth on water colour paper, starting with clean water first. Then going from bottom towards the top, letting the colour fade to get that ombre look. I'm such a fan of ombre, it's such a fab way to see the different shades you can get from one single colour. 

I did use my heat tool to speed up the drying, as I did several layers of the colours to get a really deep colour at the bottom. To adhere these to white card bases I used LOTS of glue, and I also let them dry with a MISTI on top, to keep them flat. When they were totally dry, I splattered them both with gold water colours to add a bit of extra pizzazz! 

To finish off the cards I used the light string from the brand new Crafty Meriaki collaboration set, Shine Bright, as well as a sentiment from it. The lights were coloured in with yellow Copics and then I added some Glossy Accents to make them look more 3D. 

The pink card I thought would look cute as a love note, so I stamped 'You stole my heart' in Blackout Detail ink, from the Racoon Hugs. It needed a little something extra, which was solved by die cutting the 'kisses' from Bad & Boujee diecuts four times in white card stock. These were layered up and then simply added to the card at the bottom. 

I love the fact that with a gorgeous background, you don't need a ton of other stuff to make a card full of impact. 

That's it from me but I hope you like the cards and found some inspiration here with me today!

Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Check out Ricky's video he made using the new Atelier inks: 

Lynnea is also here to share her fabulous card using the new inks. 

Her card today features some pretty ink blending with the new Sweet Petunia Pink and Trinity Teal Atelier Inks. Her thoughts: 

I just love the new colors of Atelier Ink! I wanted to show both of them off since they pair so well. I masked off the top portion of my card and blended on Sweet Petunia Pink Atelier Ink onto the bottom portion of my card. These Atelier Inks blend so smoothly! They're just gorgeous. I moved my masking tape to cover the bottom of my card and started working on the top portion. I blended the Trinity Teal Atelier Ink in quarter of an inch strips with half an inch of white space separating them. This is such a simple masked design, but I just love it! I kept the masking tape in place over the pink bottom and added some black ink spatters to the top for more texture. 

I used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink to stamp the cute little peeking kitty and party hat from the Purr-ific Kitty Cats Stamp Set and colored them with Copic Markers. I trimmed around the outside of the images with my scissors leaving a small white border. I adhered them onto my card with foam tape so that he would be peeking over the pink "edge" of my card and added a stamped sentiment below the image. 

I thought I had a bit too much Sweet Petunia Pink blended at the bottom of my card and the balance was off, so I trimmed down my panel and added it onto a white card base. A bit of Liquid Pixie Dust on my little kitty finishes the card! 

She also has a video for you today as well:
