LID:: December 2016 Release:: Day 2



Welcome to the second day of the Lil' Inker Designs December 2016 Release Showcase...full of innovative, fun and beautiful items! Once again, we have a fabulous hop for you featuring new stamps and dies! If you are following the hop, you should have arrived from the ever so talented
Jessica's Blog! (Visit the Lil' Inker Design's Blog for the full link up.)


Today's card features three new items, a modern design and tons of clean and simple layers with I adore. I started by embossing some light gray cardstock with the new Quilted Stitched So Knotty Die, and then adhered it to a white card base. (By the way, this awesome cover up die does emboss the entire front of an A2 card base, but I chose to have a white border on my  card so I did trim it some.) I then added some fun patterned paper from the Super Kids Paper pack in different layers. My next step was to die cut the sentiment word from the Friend Word Die four separate times and adhere them together. The thickness of the die really allows this technique to shine, yet the font is still delicate and fun! I stamped a coordinating sentiment from the new Friend Stamp Set onto a white banner and adhered these to the card. I really like the dimension on this card!



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