LID December Release - Day 1 - Soft Floral Set

Hello! So happy today to begin sharing some fun projects for the brand new holiday release at Lil' Inker Designs and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! You should have arrived here from Chrissy Larson - if you stopped by here you can refer to the entire blog hop at the bottom so you don't miss a stop or a chance to win the amazing giveaway. I also have links to all the new products I used on today's cards!



And now - I'm so excited to share these cards with you! I am in LOVE with this fabulous new floral set  - Corner Adorner - it's CRAZY adorable I tell you! Not to mention versatile - I've loved seeing what all the DT has made with it already. The detail on this stamp is unbelievable!



I love that it is fun to color in, but fabulously gorgeous enough to stand on it's own in a simple set of cards like these!



I used a dual layer embossing technique that I love. Basically stamped the floral in Clear Embossing Ink, THEN the sentiment in black Versafine ink, THEN and ONLY THEN - sprinkle on clear embossing powder over the entire thing and heat emboss. The floral image is nearly invisible, but then blend distress inks over, and the floral appears like magic! I did several color combos - here is a close up of each:





I love how I was able to use my MISTI to easily create this set. I added some splashes of water and gold spray mist to add some fun texture to finish them off. Bonus? They are flat and easy to mail without additional postage! YAY!


Your next stop along the blog hop is Jennifer Carter - head over there next to finish the hop before you go shopping. See you tomorrow with more projects and fun!

  32. You used my favorite stamp from this release. I love how you matched the ink to the cardstock. I had no idea you could stamp the clear ink and then the black ink and still cover it. What a timesaver. I want to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
