LID:: November Release Day 1

I looooovvvveeeee the time when the Lil' Inker Designs Design Team get to showcase products from the New Release. These next three days are going to blow you away...fabulous products are here for the November Release! If you are following the hop, you should have arrived from Jen's Blog, but a complete list is available on the Lil' Inker Designs Blog.

I've got two projects today. The first one is an all occasion "special day" card, could be used for weddings, graduations, anything! I started with a card base and then a panel that I embossed with dots. I wrapped some May Arts Wrinkled Black Ribbon around the panel and tied it in a bow. Then came a stamped sentiment from the new Modern Mehndi stamp set, which I've fallen head over heels in love with. I then stamped two of the three leaves from the Mehndi set onto cream cardstock with gold ink and die cut them out with the new matching Mehndi dies. Finally, a stamped and die cut flower was added, and for a finishing touch, black enamal accents were used to highlight the flower.

Next I have a card that also showcases a Modern Mehndi Stamp set sentiment, plus the new On The Diagonal Die, and a previously released favorite, the Fanfare Scalloped Border Die. I started creating the diagonal orange and pink paper by using the On the Diagonal Die. Such a cool, functional little die that takes all the guess work out of creating a sleek, perfect diagonal design element on your cards. After adhering those to the card base, I stamped the sentiment onto the lower panel and then added a die cut Fanfare in black along the same diagonal line. Before adhering, though, I touched up the die with orange dots for added interest!

Ok, so I hope you are as excited as I am for this release! I'll send you on your way to Sarah's Blog for more inspiration. There is a one $10 store credit winner for each day of the release hop and the winner will be picked from a secret prize blog, so remember to comment along the way!
