Feel Better Soon Card | Ink On 3

Hello Friends!

Sorry, I have been a bit MIA from the Blog and Social Media this last week. I had my Gallbladder removed last Wednesday and have been slowly recovering since.  Thankfully, every day I feel a little better and am sure I will be back to normal soon!

So today's Feel Better Soon card couldn't be more appropriate. At the time made it, I thought of other people going through some tough times and now I kind of chuckle as the beat up hamster reminds me of me! So ironic now.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the beat up hamster from the KNOCKOUT NIBBLES set using Blackout Ink and then colored him in using Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating  KNOCKOUT NIBBLES die to die cut the critter.

I then picked a spot on the lower half of the card front where the Hamster would be and used the same coordinating die to cut the space for the image to peek through from the inside of the card. On to the black card front base, I stamped out some images using Juicy ink and used 3 different colors of embossing powders to set the different images in.  For the Ka-Pow I used Arctic White, the stars were done using Gold Rush and the starbursts were done using the Chrome Embossing powder.

Once the front embossing was complete, I added some foam tape behind the knocked out hamster and glued him into the die cut space.

Next, I stamped out the rest of the greeting on the inside of the card using Blackout Ink again and a stamp positioner to ensure it stamped well.

For some finishing details, I added some Liquid Pixie Dust to his bruised eye and also added some Glossy Accents and highlights to the gloves. 

I hope you are all having a better week than I am. I will be back on my feet soon... but for now, I'm taking it easy with lots of couch breaks.

If your feeling down or beat up for some reason I hope this card has brought a smile to your face. Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Thinking Of You Card | Coloring With Distress Oxide Inks

Hey everybody 👋

Today I’m sharing a water coloured card using distress oxide inks, and featuring some of the older stamps sets from Ink On 3. I hadn't water colored for a while and I was missing it, happy I did because I am super happy with the bright and colorful results I got!

To create this card I did some ink smooshing onto the card panel using three different distress oxide inks to create the rainbow like background. Once the panel was completely dry I stamped out the images using Juicy Ink and then heat set it with  Arctic White embossing powder. Next, I took the same colors that I smooshed onto my surface and used them to color in the details of the vase from the Posies Set and the flowers from the Roses in Bloom set by adding multiple layers of oxide pigment. I then flicked some splatters of paint for some added splashes of color onto the panel and then die cut it using a stitched scallop rectangle die. For the sentiments I used the Hello stand alone die from the Dogwood Flower set and die cut 3 pieces and stacked them together. I then added Juicy Ink to the top of the Hello and added a coat of Crystal Clear Powder to emboss it. Next, I stamped out the thinking of you sentiment from the Posies stamp set using Salty Ocean distress ink and again used the Crystal Clear powder to heat set the ink. Finished off the card by adding some sparkling sequins.

Hope this very loosely colored water colored card has inspired you today! For more inspiration using Ink On 3 supplies and products visit the Ink On 3 Blog.
