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!
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 👋
