LID:: October 2016 Release:: Day 3

It's the last day of the Lil' Inker Designs October 2016 Release. Have you picked up the fabulous products showcased yet? Which is your favorite? We have one final day of blog hopping for you for some last minute inspiration. If you are following the hop, you should have arrived fromChrissy Larson's Blog! 

I showed this first card in progress on my instagram page and it was so much fun to read the responses. The Baubled Christmas Wreath Die is perfect for your Nuvo Drops! I started by die cutting the die with thick, silver cardstock and adhered it to a white cardstock base. I then added a layer of Nuvo Drops in some of the openings, let it dry and then added a second layer for additional dimension. I finished the card by mounting the panel onto a hot pink card base and stamped a sentiment from the previously released Winter Greeting Stamps. I loved the retro look of this font and thought it paired so nicely with the retro look of the The Baubled Christmas Wreath Die. (Just a note: if you are excited to try this, I would only add drops to the small and mid-size openings. The larger openings were a bit of a challenge to fill with Nuvo Drops due the the area that needed to be filled.)

My last card for this release showcases the new Filled Christmas Trees Stamps and Dual Stitched Christmas Tree Dies, as well as the Brushed Script Christmas Word Dies. Sigh. What a pretty set and such an easy card to make. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper, colored the bits loosely, and then stamped the sentiment from Filled Christmas Trees Stamps as well. I then die cut the tree with the larger tree of the Dual Stitched Christmas Tree Dies. I then embossed a yellow panel with the Cover Up Die: Stitched Woodgrain, ink distressed the edges and added some splatters and adhered this to a white cardbase. I then adhered the pretty tree and finally finished off the sentiment with the Brushed Script Christmas Word Dies. I added letters both the "wish" word and the "hope" word to complete the word "wishes".

Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my card today:
