Lil' Inker Designs April Release Day 3

Hello! Welcome back for the third and final day of sneak peeks for the new release at Lil' Inker Designs - I hope you have enjoyed hopping along with us all as we got to share all the fun projects we have been making with these goodies!


To start with today, I made a super simple watercolor card:


I used a wonderful new die - perfect for a focal point on a card:


I used some Heidi Swapp Color Shine and the smooshing technique (again!) to create my watercolor background - then, even though it is hard to see in the photos, added some splashes of the same thing in peach. LOVE how vibrant and pretty that color is! I twisted some gold thread around the watercolor panel, then attached the die cut over the top using tiny pieces of foam adhesive for a bit of dimension. Attached it at a slightly jaunty angle on some peach MFT cardstock, then added several sizes of gold Pretty Pink Posh sequins.


Next up - there is a fun new die, made to perfectly match some adorable little glassine envelopes - perfect size for a little gift card to attach to a small gift!


Here is the new die and matching envelopes, as well as the stamp set I used to decorate the inside:




I die cut the petal card out of double sided cardstock - that way both the inside and outside are pretty! I die cut a square using Dual Stitched Square Dies out of kraft cardstock, then stamped that darling elephant on it in white pigment ink. Added the "celebrate" in yellow die ink over the top, and added a few coordinating sequins.


I also attached that center square on an action wobble! You can see a little in this next photo how it kind of helps it pop out a little when it is opened! I really wanted it to jump out really hard, but at least it moves a bit! :)


Here is the entire Blog Hop line-up - make sure and check out what the rest of the Design Team has been busily creating to share today! And don't forget to leave a comment to win one of three $15 gift certificates that Laura is giving away to celebrate the new release!
