Today is the last day of the Lil' Inker Designs April 2018 Release Showcase... I hope you've enjoyed seeing all this release offers! 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.)
This first project means so much to me, and I hope it will for the recipient as well. My co-workers help parents who are adopting with the process, so I created a set of these cards for them to give out, using the new One Love Stamps and One Love Dies.
I started by stamping (using the rock and roll technique with two shades of green ink) the world, then die cutting it out. I lightly inked the edges in blue. I then die cut the word Love from the world, as well as a piece of colored card stock. The world was placed onto a white card base (embossed on the edges with the Tribal Chic Cover Up Die) and the Love word inlaid. I finished the card with a heat embossed sentiment from One Love.
This next project features many of the new item, and I adore how well they all fit together. I started by creating a card front with the amazing Brushed Plaid Stamp Set. I used a mint ink for the base, and then added darker mint individual stripes (included in the set.) This stamp set is exceptional for ease in creating a beautiful background! I then created a shaker with the Shaker Tag Die Set, adding iridescent sequins and a bow from twine.
I finished the card with a die cut sentiment from the Hello Word Die Set, and a big, beautiful bloom from the Best Mom Stamp Set, and Best Mom Dies.
Here's a look at the new release products showcased in my two projects today:
