Hello friends!
Today I am sharing the cutest no line colored holiday card that I created while testing out the new Atelier Inks from Ink On 3. You all, these inks are like nothing you have used before, I can see why they took 2 years to develop. They are truly unique because of their versatility! They stamp, they blend, they are water-reactive, you can watercolor with them and just look how bright they are 😍 And of my favorite thing about them is that they work so well with Fadeout Ink for no-line coloring!
CARD DETAILS
I started off this card by stamping out and my images using Fadeout Ink and doing some masking to add a hat, mittens and the block of Ice from the Snow Buddies Stamp Set to the Ducky from Platy-rific Pondies.
I then watercolored the images in using the Atelier Inks. I loved how buttery smooth the inks felt when I blended them on to the paper and how well I could layer the colors. To add shadows to some of the areas I used Twiggy Brown and was pleasantly surprised at how well it blended with the previous colors.
Once I had finished water coloring I then stamped out some snowflakes from the Merry and Bright set using Juicy Ink and then heat set them using Arctic White Ultra Powder. Since the background was white this made it difficult to see the snowflakes, so using very light pressure I blended some of the Atelier Peacock Blue ink around the snowflakes to make them more visible. I first blended onto some scratch paper before blending it to the background and then I also used a dry paper towel to clean off any ink that was on the embossed snowflakes.
The sentiments I used also come from the Merry and Bright set that stamped using a stamping block, but I wished I had used the Misti so I could have stamped it twice to get more of a solid impression. To finish off the scene, I added water under the ice block also using the Atelier Peacock Blue ink and slightly touched the bottom of the sentiment to make it look like the letters were melting into the water.
To finish off the image I used liquid pixie dust on the ice block to add some sparkle and added glossy accents to the ducky's beak. To darken the eyes I used a fine line marker and for highlights, I used a white gel pen.
Here is a closer look at this cutie. Just look at all the different shades of blue I got using only Atelier Peacock Blue ink pad. Blended sky, watercolored the hat, mitts, ice, water, and stamped out the sentiment. Unreal right!? And I love how it goes from an aqua like color to a dark blue. This time I didn't use ink from the Reinkers but if I had you probably would have seen even more gradients in the colors.
I hope you found this post informative. I highly recommend these inks if you are looking for versatile inks that are artist-grade, bright and very affordable. For more information on them please visit the Inkon3.com.
