1 Design colored 3 ways

Hello everyone! Juhi here, today I am sharing 3 cards with the same design but colored with different mediums. It's amazing to see how you can get completely different looks just by changing the coloring mediums.

For my first project I stamped the gorgeous humming bird and flower images with Memento Tuxedo black ink (copic marker friendly ink) on Neenah Solar White 330gsm cardstock (copic maker friendly paper) and colored the images with Copic Markers. I am still learning how to blend copic colors, I tried to add a couple of patches of purple. I need to practice more to get it right!

My second card features the same design, this time stamped on Ranger Watercolor Cardstock and colored with Zig Real Brush Water Color Markers.

For my third and final card, I stamped the design in white ink on Kraft Cardstock and added a few highlights with a white Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencil.

I hope you like my projects! Why don't you try to use different coloring mediums to color the same stamp? Remember to use the stamping surface in accordance with the coloring medium!

Fun with Inking + Single stamp

Hello all,

Ria on this side. Today I have brought cards made with some inking techniques which I found much interesting to play with.

Technique 1 : Bleaching the Ink
 I  will try my best to describe the process step by step :
  • Take a card stock, cut it into a shape as per your choice, I did with a slanting line.
  • Blend distress inks. To create a depth, blend a darker color on the edges.
  • Let the CS dry naturally in open air or heat it with your tool *I did on a gas stove* 
  • Stamp an image with the darker distress ink that you use for creating depth, and emboss it with clear embossing powder. Here, I have used Lotus delight stamp.
  • Take a pinch of bleaching powder in a bowl full of water and run the water with a brush on to the images only.
  • Wait for sometime, the bleach will react and will fade the area. It can even make the image completely white.
  • Finish it off with some glitter and sentiments. Here I have taken help of glitter cones and alpha banner stamp set.
      Tips:
  1. Select darker colors for the cardstock so that the bleaching technique will give a contrasting image.
  2. Select smaller images that has an outline only.
  3. Be careful with the bleach.
  4. Do not let the paper soak too much of bleach water as it will eventually make it super white that I guess you would not want to.
This is another color on which I have tried the same design.






Technique 2 : Ink Lifting

  • Blend some dark and bright colors on to a card panel.
  • Stamp some solid designs, I have used the same image set but the solid one here.
  • Emboss it with clear embossing powder.
  • Spray water on the CS and wipe it off. This will give a light image on the left out area.
  • Finish it off with some embellishments and ribbons as it is needed.

I hope you have liked the projects. For any query, feel free to ask.

Till then, with lots of love

Inspirations for Challenge # 12

Hello friends Hope you all had great Diwali Celebration ! Pooja here with inspiration for Current Challenge.Which has this wonderful photo as inspiration.


For my first card I used the Hearts Butterfly die-cut released last month.


I loved the colors in the challenge photo so much that I used all of them on this card.Started by applying texture paste through Grid stencil on the cardbase.I was inspired by my teammate Swapna's card while creating the water-colored panel.


Heat embossed the  butterfly die-cut and placed it in a glittery frame and finished off with few enamel dots .The sentiment is from Stringy Text.


On this card I combined three colors from the photo with the Floral Blooms stamp set.A glittered Stitched scallop rectangle frame to jazz up the card .


Heat embossed the sentiment from Floral Fantasy on vellum and finished off with few sequins.
