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.

Pink and Main Bright Side Rainbow Card – Happiness Overload

Hey peeps.  I’m still making rainbows in my craft room.  I have a quick tutorial for you using the Pink and Main Bright Sides stamp. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this precious rainbow stamp set.  It’s perfect for easy colors.  Let me share the cards I made for you. This Pink and Main Bright Side Rainbow card is ready to be mailed.  Will you get it in your mailbox? 😉

As I mentioned I used the Pink and Main Bright Side stamp set along with Copic markers.  It was such a relaxing way to make a card.  I pulled out the Gina K. Designs Wreath Builder to help me make the background for my card. You can see how this all came together in the video.  Here is another card I made using this stamp set.  You can click the link and then head on over to the Pink and Main blog for all the details on that card.

I mean look at the sparkle on the rainbow and clouds.  I achieved the sparkle using my wink of stella glitter brush pen.  You can also use Pixie Dust from Ink On 3 with a paint brush to get the same effect.

For my cards today I used distress oxide inks, rainbow foil and a stencil.  There are so many ways to be inspired when making a rainbow cards and there are so many variations of styles and techniques.  I’m going to share three with you in the tutorial that I hope inspire you to pull out your colorful paper and get busy. Here’s a few picks of the card before we get started.  The first cards I just pulled out my distress oxide inks and got busy.  I love how simple and colorful this card came out.

 

 

For my next card I used the distress stripe toner sheets from Therm-O-Web and the rainbow shattered glass foil.  Oh this foil is soooo yummy and beautiful.  I have all the products I used listed below.

 

 

And for my last card, I pulled out a stencil and used the transfer gel and rainbow foil to create a fun distressed circle background.

Updated Watercolor Swatch – What Have I Done Now?

Hey peeps.  Updated watercolor swatch…what have I done now?  Yes I MUST keep my colors organized.  LOL . I thought I would share with you a quick video showing how I updated my watercolor swatches.  The first method really did work for me for years, however I felt I needed to tweak it just a bit. Do you watercolor swatch your paints?  Which brands do you use?

Keeping my space organized is one of the most valuable things I can do for myself.  It keeps me from chasing my own self around the room trying to figure out where I placed or stored an item. I’m not OCD however I am VERY dedicated to keeping a happy space.  When I find disorganization in my space it kills my creativity.  I feel like I’m suffering slowly and to keep that from happening, I stay organized.  An updated watercolor swatch will make all the difference if you don’t understand how much watercolor paints you already have.  For me, if I see what I have I will “try” not to purchase the same colors.  That doesn’t always work because different brands have different shades however at least I would know that I don’t need anymore yellows when I have 30 of them.  LOL

Okay onto the video. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  

 

Let me know if you keep a color swatch of some sorts?  Do you do it for your inks, markers, pencils, paints?  Let me know in the comments.  Have a great day everyone.  I’ll see you back here soon!
