Oh Deer – Ink On 3 October Release

Hey peeps.  I’m back with a card using the Oh Deer stamp set from Ink On 3.  This Oh Deer stamp set perfect for birthday, friends and Christmas cards.  I started the card off on Youtube however it was not working correctly. I moved over to Periscope and started more watercoloring on this image.  You can find my live periscope by clicking here.

As you can see I did no line watercoloring with the Oh Deer stamp set and  fadeout ink from Ink On 3.  I used the watercolor palette from Altenew to do the basic coloring.  To add more outlines and depth I used watercolor pencils and my polychrome color pencils.

This image was so relaxing to color.  Here’s a tip, if you are nervous about no line coloring, give it a try on larger images.  It won’t seem so intimidating if you do that.  Remember to use a medium you are comfortable with.  That way you won’t be struggling with a medium and image at the same time.

After I colored the image, I die cut it out with the coordinating die.  To keep the background as simple as possible, I went straight for my distress oxide inks and a simple stencil.  This stencil really draws your eye directly to the colored image.

Ink On 3 and Gina K Designs Collaboration Blog Hop

 

Hey peeps.  I’m so excited to be a part of the Ink On 3 and Gina K Designs collaboration blog hop.  There are so many talented people on this amazing hop.  Let me share with you some information before I get into my card.  Make sure you comment on each of the designers blog for your chance to win.  Ink On 3 and Gina K Designs are giving away a $5o gift cards to their stores.  Thanks Fleurette and Gina for being so generous. Make sure to comment by Thursday as a winners will be announced on Friday on the Ink On 3 blog and Gina K Designs blog.

For my post today I have a tutorial and an extra card to share. My first card I used the new Ink On 3 Bad and Boujee stamps and coordinating dies along with the Gina K Designs Leafy Stencil die and white glitz glitter gel.  My tutorial will show you how this card came together.

Bad and Boujee Pink and Main

 

Here’s a quick tutorial.  You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

For my next card I keep the focus on the beautiful flowers from the Gina K Designs Vibrant Bloom stamp set and keep the sentiment simple with one of the sentiments from the Ink On 3 Bad and Boujee stamp set.

 

My card was stamped with juicy ink and heat embossed with Ink On 3 Arctic White embossing powder on Gina K Designs black card stock.  I stamped out an additional flower and colored it with my polychromo color pencils and ran it through my die cut machine with the matching die. For my sentiment I also stamped it with juicy ink and heat embossed it in white.  Trimming down this piece into a sentiment strip was a perfect way to add the sentiment.  I adhered my floral panel to a white card base made out of Gina K white card stock. Popping up the flower and sentiment gave my card some dimension. Added texture and piazza was achieved by the addition of liquid pixie dust to all the flowers, a touch of white splatter made with gouache and a few colorful dots of Nuvo drops in orange and red.

Now it’s time to hop around.  PLEASE make sure to leave a comment on each of the designer’s blogs.  Also, if you would like, share their designs on your Facebook page or Instagram making sure to give credit to the design.

Watercolor Tube Inspiration Card

Hey peeps.  I’m back today sharing a quick crafty card I made a few weeks ago.  I love to watercolor so when I saw the Arts & Craft stamp set from The Ink Blot Shop I knew I had to have it.  This stamp set features some of the cutest images for us crafty peeps. You can watercolor the images or color them with pencils or markers.

For my watercoloring today I used a inexpensive palette I picked up from Amazon awhile ago.  I have a review of the palette here.  It’s really a great palette for the price.  I started off by stamping out the paint tube seven times so I could have all the colors of the rainbow.  I colored each one leaving some high light areas around the top.  Now I don’t get caught up on light source and all that.  I just like to paint and make pretty things. (However I’m taking a watercolor class so I might change that when I’m more experienced).

Watercolor Tube Card

 

Once I had all my painting done, I fussy cut each image with my spring action scissors.  Next I grabbed a piece of fog cardstock for the base of my card.  I popped each paint tube on a foam square and went in a circle-ish design round this piece after I stamped a sweet sentiment in the middle.  To add a little bit of white to the card base, I pulled out my gelly roll pen .10 and drew dots around the edges of the card panel and a few around the paint tubes.  Here’s a closeup of the card.

 

For my second card I pulled out the glue bottle, washi tape, paint bottle and sequin holder and got busy painting them as well.  The text on each bottle was done by first drawing the word out with pencil and then going over it with a fine tip pen.  Now it was time to add some Ink On 3 liquid pixie dust for sparkle. I fussy cut out each image and now they were ready for a card panel.

 

Again I kept the panel really simple with just a sentiment and faux stitching round the case base.  I them alternated the images and stacked them on top of each other as if they were sitting on my shelf waiting to be used.  This definitely  was a fun card to make. The sentiments for both of these cards are from The Ink Blot Shop Arts and Crafts sentiment stamp set.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll see you back here soon with more card making inspiration.  Have a great day everyone.

No-Line Watercoloring Ink On 3 Hollyhocks and The 30 Day Color Challenge

Hey peeps.  I’m sharing some no-line watercoloring today using the Hollyhocks from InkOn3. I started this card a few weeks ago on Periscope and now finally finished it.  You can see the start of this card by hopping over to this link.  I love watercoloring and no-line watercoloring is easy with the fade out ink from Ink On 3.  I’m also participating in #thedailymarker30day challenge that the lovely Kathy Racoosin . I love participating in this challenge as it gives me a reason to color each day.

Hollyhocks InkOn3

 

I used my Windsor Newton watercolors to create the colors for my painting.  When mixing the colors, I made sure they matched my new vintage nuvo dream drops I purchased. Once I completed the watercoloring, I used the left over paint to splatter some color on the background.

Hollyhocks InkOn3

 

To finish up the card I pulled out my polychromo pencils to add in some depth to my flowers.  I do this a lot when watercoloring if I can’t get the depth I want.  I trimmed down this panel to add a fog background to it.  I stamped a simple sentiment to complete the card along with a few enamel dots using the new nuvo dream drops in Earl Grey, Dusty Rose and Pioneer Green.  I’m so in love this with colors.

Easy No-Line Watercolor With Neat and Tangle

Hey peeps.  I’m sharing an easy no-line watercolor card with you today.  When I just want to relax and color I love to pull out my watercolor palettes and color.  For me watercoloring is a peaceful experience.  I really try hard NOT to let it be overwhelming and intimidating.  To me it’s just water, color and paper. When I do my no-line watercoloring I used Fade Out Ink from InkOn3.  It’s perfect for no-line coloring techniques. Easy no-line watercolor is in your reach I promise.  I made a video sharing the top 5 watercoloring tools you need for successful watercoloring.  You can find it here.

For my card today I used the adorable Neat and Tangle Contemporary Kids stamps set.  I’ve had this stamp for a while however I just now getting around to play with it. I pulled out some gorgeous paper from my scrap pile (can’t remember the brand where this paper came from) for my color palette inspiration.  I used my Daniel Smith watercolors to color up these cuties on Arches watercolor paper.  Once they were colored and dried, I fussy cut them with some scissors.

 

Contemporary Kids By Neat And Tangle

 

To tone down the plaid paper, I wrapped it with a piece of vellum to soften it up some.  Just using the paper without the vellum was making it hard to really see the little kids on my card. Before I placed the vellum over the designer paper, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Color My Word stamp set from WPlus 9.  I placed the panel on a white card base and added just a few enamel dots for added interest.

 

Neat and Tangle Contemporary Kids

Here’s a close up of the card.  This card was so much fun to make.  As you can see it’s a really simple card however it’s so colorful without over doing it.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll see you back here soon!
