Pansies for Mom Card - No Line Coloring using Fadeout Ink


Hello Friends!

Today I'm sharing another card for Mom today. Yes, another one... and yes I only have one mom, but it's always nice to have Mom cards on hand because not only are they perfect for Mother's Day they are also great for other occasions (A just because card, or even a birthday card too, plus you can give them away to anyone who is Mom).

So for this card, I wanted to play a little more with the Fadeout Ink from Ink On 3 as I love the no line watercolor look and still need tons of practice. So for practice, I played with the new Pansies set creating this beautiful floral background. Overall I am super happy with the results. Yes, it isn't perfect but that's OK because I keep learning from each experience and that's what is important to me plus I had fun doing it. This ink makes the no line coloring process so easy. Honestly you drop the color next to the stamped lines and the pigment gets absorbed, making it super easy to see where you stamped. That is the magical part about this ink.

  To create this card I had to do quite a bit of masking along the card panel. Once I was happy with the stamped image I began coloring it in with a variety of distress inks (see colors listed below in supply links). First I laid down a light layer of color to define my stamped images and then went back adding more color and depth to each pansy. Once my coloring was done, I die cut the panel with the pierced rectangle and mounted it on to the card base. I then stamped out the sentiment using Blackout ink and added a few more flowers to frame the sentiment that I had cut out with the coordinating dies.

To finish the card I added some detail lines to the center of each Pansy using a burnt ochre Prismacolor pencil. To each flower, I also added a bit of white with a gelly roller and topped it off with a small drop of Dandelion yellow Tonic drops. For some shine, I added a few scattered iridescent bubbles.

Hope you were inspired by this no line colored card for Mom. For more inspiration using the Fadeout ink or the Pansies Stamp set, visit the Ink On 3!

Baby Cards Using the Build A Panda Etched Dies from Spellbinders


How cute are these little Pandas!?!

Baby Cards Using the Build A Panda Etched Dies from Spellbinders by ilovedoingallthingscrafty

For today's inspiration, I wanted to create some baby cards. I have a few pregnant friends at the moment who don't want to know their baby's gender.... wait, what? That's unheard of these days, right?! So just to be prepared I thought I would make one for a boy and one for a girl... but watch it will probably be two boys, or two girls, lol!

These cute little Panda Etched Dies are interchangeable. You can make the Panda stand up like this one below or sit down as shown on the next card.

I kept these cards pretty clean and simple. 
I wanted the focus to be on the bears, but I wanted to incorporate the baby theme so I paired these dies with the Oh Baby and the Darling Baby Sets from Simon Says Stamp. They worked together so beautifully!

For this card, I used a few of the distress oxide pink shades to stamp out the little feet in the background.

I also used the distress oxide inks for blending the background behind the baby Pandas. Because these inks take a while to dry I heat set the stamped images with a clear embossing powder.

I used both the Pierced Rectangle and pierced Circle Dies on these cards. I like how these frame dies give you the option of adding the piercing effect on your projects. To add life to these pandas, I gave them some rosy cheeks and used fine tip marker to add a black line to the etched out area of their lips. I also added a pupil to the center of their eyes an finished both their eyes and noses with some glossy accents.

I hope you got some inspiration from my Baby Panda Cards today.
A special Thank You to Spellbinders for sending me these cute dies to create with.

Thanks for stopping by!
