Floral Atelier Ink Watercolor

This card was so easy to make and it's one of my favorites I've made in a long time! I watercolored these gorgeous florals with InkOn3 Atelier Inks and they're just gorgeous! 

Atelier Inks are great for stamping and ink blending ... but I really LOVE the way they work as watercolors! They are so vibrant! I stamped the Concord & 9th Heartfelt Blossoms Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and heat embossed with Crystal Clear Fine Detail Embossing Powder. The embossing helps to keep the watercolor in the lines - which is something I definitely need! I used Goddess Green, Bee Sting Yellow, Sweet Petunia Pink, and Trinity Teal Atelier Inks to watercolor my background and then used the coordinating die to cut it out. 

I created a peek through background by stamping the Altenew Pinstripe Stamp with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and popped up my watercolored image on top with foam tape. I wanted a sentiment that would perfectly match my background, so I blended Trinity Teal Atelier Ink onto white cardstock and then die cut the sentiment. The color of the sentiment perfectly matches my watercolored frame! 

I finished off this pretty Atelier Ink watercolored card with some pastel pearls. Thanks for joining me! 

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!

Watercolored Lotus

I've got a pretty lotus card from InkOn3 to share with you today! I did more shimmer watercoloring - it's my current obsession! 

I planned to watercolor the new Lotus Stamp Set, so I knew I would do some heat embossing. I love having a black outline, so I stamped my lotus image with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink onto watercolor cardstock and quickly sprinkled on Crystal Clear Embossing Powder and heat set the image. 

I watercolored the lotus using shimmer watercolors, but you can use whatever you have! Once my image was colored I trimmed it out with scissors. 

I wanted a background that would coordinate with my stamped image. I masked a quarter of an inch off of each side of a piece of white cardstock and placed the new Curls Stencil over the top. I used My Jam Purple and Peacock Blue Atelier Inks to ink up the stencil. 

I finished the card by stamping a sentiment from the Lotus Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and popped it up near the center of the card! Hope you have a great day! 

My Sweet Petunia Makes My Heart Smile

 Hi Friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon3 Creative Team! I'm really in love with the My Sweet Petunia Clear Stamp set. Sometimes it's nice to just have to deal with one stamped image for a card!

I googled Petunias to see what different color variations there were and I absolutely fell in love with this white and purple petunia!

First stamp the Petunia bouquet onto white cardstock. Then color with the Copic Markers listed below, or with your choice of coloring medium. Fussy cut the stamped image.

Then on white cardstock and black ink, stencil in the Squiggles background using the Squiggles 6x6 stencil. Trim the stenciled cardstock down to 5" x 3.75".

Trim down grey patterned paper down to 5.25"x4". Adhere to a 5.5"x4.25" card base, then adhere the stenciled cardstock over the grey patterned paper. Next, adhere the Petunia bouquet onto the stenciled cardstock as shown in the pictures. 

Then die cut a sentiment tag using white cardstock. Then stamp the sentiment "You make my heart smile" from the My Sweet Petunia Clear stamp set. Adhere the sentiment onto the bottom of the card.

Copic Colors:

Purples: RV99, RV95, RV93, RV91

Greys: W3, W1, W0

Greens: G99, YG67, YG63, YG17, YG21

Miss You

 

Happy Friday! 

It's Ceal, here.  Today I am sharing a card using the My Sweet Petunia 3 Layer Stencil. I love how by using this stencil it gives you a no line watercolor look. 

To create this card I started with a white to folding card base and a white panel in which I stenciled on. I used the My Sweet Petunia Layering Stencils along with the Atelier Inks in Sweet Petunia Pink, My Jam Purple and Goddess Green. 

I laid down the stencils in different direction so my flowers would be along the side of my card.

The Miss you sentiment is by Concord & 9th. With the flowers going along the side I wanted a big greeting. 

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting! 

Making Cards and Mistakes with Erica

 Hi guys! 

It’s Erica back on the Ink On 3 blog with another card using the My Sweet Petunia stamp and layering stencil set. On this one I made a big mistake, and thought I’d share it with you so you can avoid it yourself. 

If you saw my last blog post, I used this set for those cards too, but on those I ink blended first and then heat embossed the outline stamp on top. For this card, I did not do that.. and it ended up a bit meh… not going to lie. Take it from me, if you want a white heat embossed outline, do that last. 

So I started out by heat embossing the gorgeous My Sweet Petunia stamp on white card stock. I’m not sure why I did it this way, I should know better by now, really. Anyway, I grabbed Sweet Petunia Pink, My Jam Purple and Peacock Blue Atelier Inks, some Life Changing Blender Brushes and the My Sweet Petunia layering stencils. 

Right off the bat, I realised what a mistake I had done as the inks are so pigmented and vibrant, they instantly discoloured the white embossed lines. I SHOULD know better by now! And yeah, I said it again, because I really don’t know what I was thinking here. 

Anyway, onward and upwards. I ink blended the My Jam Purple and Peacock Blue to create a deep, vivid look for the flowers and then went softly with Goddess Green for the stem and leaves layer. I tried cleaning up a little, but it’s very easy to smudge and leave marks on the project when doing this, so I did what I felt I could do safely without making too much of a mess. 

Around the flower I also ink blended more Goddess Green using the Leafy Forest Stencil, just to add some softness to the card, which is a true one-layer card if you can believe it! A quick Happy Birthday was stamped up with Blackout Ink and that was it. 

Super simple, and it can work for so many occasions. Just change up the colour scheme and sentiment, and you are good to go! Oh, and ink blend FIRST, and heat emboss when all the ink is dry. Maybe best to leave it overnight to make sure. Take it from me, don’t do it my way, because that did not work out very clean. Having said that, that’s only with white embossing powder, I guess? Maybe gold will be fine? Ok, I’m off to best that theory! See you next time! 

Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica 

Fruity Atelier Ink Blended Cards

My current obsession? Layering stencils! I used a few colors of InkOn3 Atelier Ink Pads and blended up some fruity backgrounds! 

I love the look of layering stencils! Such an easy way to create customized patterned paper! And I used Atelier Inks for effortless blending! 

My first card uses the Watermelon Slices Stencil Set. I blended Sweet Petunia Pink and Goddess Green Atelier Inks and used Blackout Hybrid Detail ink for the seeds. Blending with the Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink always gives such crisp black details! 

Lemons are my favorite thing about summer! They're so bright and happy! I used the Lemon Squeeze Stencil Set with Bee Sting Yellow and Goddess Green Atelier Inks and again used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink for the detail layer. 

This last card reminds me of fruit salad! I used the Mixed Fruit Stencil Set and blended Sweet Petunia Pink, Bee Sting Yellow, and Goddess Green Atelier Inks and used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink for the final layer. 

I finished off all three of the cards by cutting down the panels with a Stitched Rectangle Die and adding the Oh Happy Day Word Die cut from Gold Holographic Cardstock. This set of cards makes me so happy and I hope it brightens your day as well! 

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.

Christmas in July Poinsettia Card

It's no secret that I LOVE all things winter and Christmas! I get so happy when July comes around because it gives me an excuse to share Christmas cards again! 

I wanted to have bold images against a wintery background, so I placed a snowflake stencil over a piece of black cardstock and used Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink to create the background for my card. For a bit more interest I spattered on some Liquid Pixie Dust. I love how easy it can be to create a magical background! 

I stamped out flowers, leaves, and twigs from the Poinsettia Stamp Set with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink and colored them with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating Poinsettia Die Set. I arranged them onto my background with foam tape for dimension. I wanted a simple sentiment that wouldn't take away from the background and bright images, so I stamped a sentiment from the Merry & Bright Stamp Set with Juicy Watermark Emboss Ink and heat set it with Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. 

No Christmas card is complete without adding even more shimmer so I covered my colored images with Liquid Pixie Dust! Now they sparkle and shine and make my heart so happy! Thanks so much for joining me!

Here For you Card

 I really love the details in the flower in the Here for You stamp set, it's definitely designed to be used with the Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink! 

On a white card base, mask off about 1/3 of the card, then stencil in a background using the Squiggles Stencil. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Victorian Velvet, Tattered Rose, and Milled Lavender.

Then I stamped out two of the flowers in the Here for You clear stamp set, colored with copic markers, and then fussy cut the image.

Next, I die cut one black and one white rectangles. On the white rectangle, I stamped out the sentiment "You are Never Alone" with Blackout Detail Ink, then on the black rectangle I stamped out "I'm here for You" with Juicy Clear Embossing Ink. Then I sprinkled some Ultra Fine Embossing Powder in Arctic white onto the embossing ink, and heat set.

Assemble the card as shown in the picture above. There you have it! A beautiful card to let your friend know that you're always there for them!

Dreamy Sweet Petunias with Erica

 Hi guys! 

It’s Erica back on the Ink On 3 blog with a couple of cards, using the fabulous and fantastic and amazing new My Sweet Petunia layering stencils and coordinating stamp set. Oh boy, they are just gorgeous on their own but used together they are a total knockout!! 

I’m getting ahead of myself though, let’s go back to the beginning: I’ve got two cards to show you. Both are made with the same colours, but with different levels of intensity. They are also finished off with different colours of embossing powder. 

This first one is done with a softer, lighter ink blending. For the flower petals, I’ve used Sweet Petunia Pink and Bee Sting Yellow, and I’ve inkblended them through the first two layers of the stencils. I wanted to keep the colours very cohesive, so I used the same colours on top of each other. 

I use Life Changing Blender Brushes when I ink blend, for me that’s what gives me the best results, but the Atelier inks are buttery smooth and blend so great that any blending tool you have will probably do just as good a job. 

For the stems I have mixed Goddess Green, Trinity Teal and a bit of Bee Sting Yellow. I really should have skipped the yellow though, it didn’t really work out OR I should have gone in with the yellow first, perhaps, for a more spring like look. 

When all the ink blending was done, and the panel had been left to dry a little, I used an anti-static tool all over it, and then popped it into my MISTI. I really wanted to use the My Sweet Petunia outline stamp on top of that luscious ink blending. 

I heat embossed it with Rich Gold from WOW! Embossing and once the embossing powder was set, I splattered some gold water colour on top for extra wow-factor. The final touch was a sentiment from the Here For You stamp set, stamped up with Sweet Petunia Pink ink, on a slim banner. 

The second card is done almost the same, however I skipped the Bee Sting Yellow on the stems, and I went in heavier with the Sweet Petunia Pink and the yellow on the flower petals. 

On this one I used embossing powder in Platinum for the My Sweet Petunia outline stamp instead. Just to make sure they are not totally the same. Naturally the gold splatters were still added. Those you can never have too many of. 

The sentiment from this one is from the My Sweet Petunia set, but it’s also stamped with Sweet Petunia Pink ink. Hey, that rhymes! 

I did make a video for the first card, you can find that on my YouTube channel. For the Platinum card I made a reel, that you can find on my Instagram feed. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and liked the cards, I have linked most of the products used for these card with compensated affiliate links in the post. These links do not cost you anything extra at all, promise! 

Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica
