LID February Spring Release - Day 3

Hello! Back again for the third and final day of the brand new release at Lil' Inker Designs! 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!


I have a couple cards today to share that are fairly bold and graphic!


This first one uses a fun new Color Blocking Die - so fun for mixing and matching cardstock or pattern paper for a fun look to the front of your cards! I used a couple different solid color cardstocks, then pieced them together with tape on the back and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle before adhering to my cardbase. I heat embossed a sentiment from Cat Treats Stamp Set on a strip of black cardstock, and then stamped one of the cute kitties and cut with the coordinating Cat Treats Dies - leaving it uncolored to add to the graphic feel. I also stamped a few hearts from the stamp set - doing some masking to make random clusters of 3's, then colored them in with a white gel pen before adhering the kitty with foam adhesive.


Next up, I went with bold guy colors!


For this one I used Quilted Stitched So Sunny Die on my orange cardstock, then die cut out a window using Stitched Circles. I stamped and die cut the bike from Rustic Spring on blue cardstock, then just added some highlights with a white gel pen. I used a leftover piece of green from the card above (love not wasting things!) and built a sentiment from a combination of Cat Treats and Bunny Buddies Stamp and Die bundle.
