Gettin’ Inky with it

Welcome back everyone for day two of The Rabbit Hole Designs August New Release Inspiration Hop!  We have a ton of fabulous projects to show all you today, all starring one of the new Duff Designs & The Rabbit Hole Designs collaboration sets, Inky!

These little octopi steal the show!  They are stinking cute!!!  For my first card I had a lot of fun making a  scene and no line watercoloring them.  I started with an A2 panel of bristol cardstock, and used an ocean scene stencil from my stash to ink blend my background using Distress Oxides.

Next I stamped the images using Inkon3 fadeout ink.  I can’t rave enough about this ink, AND you can even get it at THRD now!!  Omgeeee, it’s a game changer for no line coloring!  I opted to watercolor them using Tombow markers, and then fussy cut them out to pop up on my panel using foam dots.  I heat stamped my sentiment using Versamark ink and heat embossed in white.  I had these adorable clear hearts in my stash, and thought given the sentiment they would make adorable “bubbles” around the octopi (I love that word btw!).

For my second card I wanted to do something quite a bit different.  The set has a bunch of cute images, but I really was drawn to the ink splotches!  I used my stamping platform and a rainbow of VersaClair inks to stamp a panel of splotches.  the panel was matted on black cardstock and then adhered to a white A2 card base.  I heat embossed the coordinating sentiment on black cardstock with white EP.  I matted the black sentiment strip on white, and then chose to lightly ink the edges of the white cardstock with blue ink to frame it just a little more.  I popped up the sentiment on the panel with foam tape and the card was done!

I really love how easily this card came together with such a fun result!  I see these splotches in an array of uses in my crafty future….stay tuned!!

The inspiration hop is in full swing and the THRD design team has some Ahh-Mazing things to show you all, so be sure to keep hoppin along!
