Pretty Up Your Planner Pages with a Little Birdie and Atelier Inks

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon 3 creative team here to show you a quick and easy way to pretty up your planner pages! I was getting my 2021 planner ready and while I love my Year-On-One-Page Inserts, I wanted to pretty it up a bit.

First, stamp out some of the images from the Little Birdie Stamp set onto sticker paper and fussy cut the images, color with your choice of coloring medium. 

Next, create a soft teal background on your planner pages using a blender tool and the Trinity Teal Atelier Inks. I saw Fleurette work the ink on the Atelier Ink lid in one of her videos, and that really helps the Atelier Ink blend into the paper a lot smoother and I've done it since! 

Place the colored stamped images onto your planner pages, and if you'd like, you can add some coordinating washi tape on the bottom of the pages.

Tone-on-Tone coloring - BeYOUtiful Floral Monthly Planner Layout

It's Cheryl with the Inkon 3 Creative Team here to show you how I made this BeYOUtiful monthly pages.

Did you know that the Atelier Inks are Copic Safe? This inspired me to do some tone-on-tone coloring. I think it looks super cool and it keeps the color palette simple which makes coloring super easy! 

I used a scalloped rectangle die and die cut some white card stock. On the white card stock, I stamped out the flowers from the BeYOUtiful Clear stamp set using the Peacock Blue Atelier Ink, then I stamped out the leaves from the same stamp set using the Goddess Green Atelier Ink. Next, I colored in the flower with blue copic markers and the leaves and stems with green copic markers. Then stamp the sentiment "Hello BeYOUtiful" on the lower left hand corner of the rectangle using Twiggy Brown Atelier Ink.

For my A6 planner, I cut a rectangle 6"x 4.25" out of white card stock, and punched holes on the side. Then I used the Leafy Forest Stencil, blender brushes and the Peacock Blue and Goddess Green Atelier Ink to create a beautiful background, you don't have to bring the background all the way to the center since you will cover it with the card stock with the flowers. Adhere the scalloped rectangle with the flowers onto the card stock with the Leafy Forest background.

On the monthly calendar side I stenciled in some more leafy backgrounds using Peacock Blue and Goddess Green Atelier Ink. Then I added some gold sparkly washi tape on the top of the page.

What do you think of the tone-on-tone coloring? It's not quite no-line coloring, but you get a nice softness to the image right?
