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!

You Friend Are Pretty Amazing - Encouragement Card

Recently a very good friend of mine and long time work colleague completed her chemotherapy treatments and got the good news that we were all hoping for. Although she has lost all her hair, is very fatigued and is still in some pain she is determined to be her better self when she returns back to work with us. As an Oncology Nurse, unfortunately she now knows and can really relate to what it is like to be a cancer patient having experienced it all herself.  To celebrate her journey I made this card for her.

Elaine YOU friend ARE pretty amazing!

I mixed supplies from a few of my favorite companies to create this beautiful card. I stamped the background florals from SSS Blooming Day Set to using distress inks to create a water colored base.  Then added a vellum layer to the top to add my sentiments on the front of the card. Check out the links below if you are interested in any of the supplies I used.

Here is a look at the stamped sentiment inside the card.

I really don't think this picture does this card justice. So for a better look at how it came together I have included a process video.

Thanks for stopping by!
