Just Breathe Encouragement Card | Penguin Palace & Ink On 3 Collaboration

Hello again, 

I am back with another card I created as part of a collaboration Hop between Inkon3 and Penguin Palace Stamps which is happening over on👉 Instagram. We teamed up to celebrate the Penguin Palace's 3rd Anniversary! Still plenty of time to join.  You can hop along with us on Instagram for your chance to win one of two $25 gift cards (one to the Ink on 3 store and one to the Penguin Palace store). The hop will end on November 7 @ 11:59 PM PDT.

Here is how this card came together.

• Stamp the Legend of The Koi fish first using the outline stamp with Blackout Ink onto Bristol Paper.
• Next line up the detail stamp layer over the fish you just stamped out, this time use Fadeout Ink. 
• Watercolor in the images by using  Sweet Petunia, Bee Sting Yellow, and Peacock Blue Atelier Inks. Overlap the colors to create the rainbow blend.
• To add sparkle I added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust over the painted layer.
• I then used the coordinating Legend of the Koi - Penguin Perfect Cuts to die cut the fish.
• On another piece of white cardstock, I used the same inks I used above to watercolor but this time to ink blend and create a rainbow area. 
• Stamp the Breathe Stamp from the Words From The Heart (Chapter 1) stamp set over the rainbow blended spot using Blackout Ink.
• Die-cut the Breathe using the Words From The Heart Coordinating Cuts.
• Glue the Breathe sentiment to the card front.
• Pop the fish in place using foam tape. For an added layer of thickness, I glued the fish onto another die-cut piece.
• Finish the card by adding a few bubble embellishments.

Hope this Just Breathe Encouragement Card inspired you today and reminds you that it is ok to take a break, stop, relax, do nothing and just Breathe. Especially with all that is going on in the world right now, it's OK! People are more understanding than you realize because after all we all need and deserve a break from time to time😉

Hello BeYOUtiful Friendship Card | Ink On 3

Hello, my BeYOUtiful Friends!

Today I am back with a card that took me no time to make mainly because the background was super quick and easy to create and I am loving the results. It would be a great card to send a friend for a birthday or any other special occasion.

CARD DETAILS

I began by stamping out the large magnolia image from the new BEYOUTIFUL stamp set using JUICY INK onto a piece of Bristol paper. I then used GOLD RUSH EMB. PWD. to heat set the lines in.

I then used the ATELIER PAINT IT BLACK ink to paint in the flowers using a SMALL TIP WATER BRUSH PEN. I just dipped the tip of the brush onto the ink pad and began coloring where I thought a shadow would be, gradually pulling and blending the ink out. It is hard to see in the photos but this ink has some pink and green undertones that show up so beautifully on the card in real life. I could have added more layers of paint to give the petals more dimension but I was happy with the one layer which made this so much easier too.

Once the ink was dry I die cut the panel with a pierced frame and glued it onto the card base. Next, I die cut a pierced heart from vellum and then stamped and embossed the BeYOUtiful sentiment on to it. I then figured out where I was going to place the heart and stamped the "HELLO" right over where the center of the sentiment would be and then glued the heart in place and cut off the edge that hung over the card.

To finish off the card, I added some crystals and sequins for sparkle.

I hope you were inspired by this elegant friendship card. Thank you so much for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hey Gorgeous, Colorful Birthday Card | Ink On 3 | Coloring with Atelier Inks

Hello, my friends! 

I am back again today with a colorful Gorgeous Birthday Card featuring the new HEY GORGEOUS stamp set recently released from Ink On 3. I love the size of this large stamp image! Plus, it comes with a bunch of little flower accessories and great sentiments to create some great girlfriend cards.

If you know me I love all things rainbow, so of course rather then just painting one plain old hair color I had to use all of them, lol!

CARD DETAILS

For this card, I began by stamping out the image from the HEY GORGEOUS set using BLACKOUT INK onto Bristol paper.

I then began by water coloring her skin using a small tip water brush pen. To create the skin color I used a blend of Atelier Twiggy Brown, Bee Sting Yellow, Marilyn Red, and Marigold Orange.  To her cheeks, I added a touch of Marilyn Red color.

Next, I colored her hair in rainbow order starting with Atelier Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow, Goddess Green, Peacock Blue, and My Jam Purple.

For her hat, I watercolored it using Atelier Twiggy Brown, I love the shade you get with the brown as it resulted in a leathery kinda look.

To finish off her lips I used the ink from the Re-inker Marilyn Red because I wanted a deeper shade of red on her lips.

Once the image was dry, I stamped out the black florals on the hat using JUICY INK and heat set it using the BLACK AS NIGHT EP. For the Gold Flower, I used GOLD RUSH EP and fussy cut it out to add to the hat.

I then finished off the card by stamping out the sentiments from the HEY GORGEOUS set and then used LIQUID PIXIE DUST to add sparkle to her lips and hair. If you are on Instagram watch my feed as I will try posting a clip of the sparkle this card has as pictures can never do it justice.

For more finishing touches, I added a pearl to the flower and glossy accents to her lips for additional shine!

I hope you found this Hey Gorgeous Colorful Birthday Card inspiring. For more Ink On 3 inspiration click HERE. Wishing you all a bright and colorful day!

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
