LID April Release Day 3 - Sentiment Focus

Hello! Welcome for the 3rd and final day of the the BRAND NEW April release hop at Lil' Inker Designs! There are a ton of fun new stamps and dies to share! You can find the entire new release HERE!


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! Today I'm rounding out a bit more of the release that I haven't shared yet!


For this one I used the new Hand Drawn Happiness Stamp Set - LOVE the sentiments in this one! I stamped my sentiment from this set on a rectangle cut with the inside of the Shaker Tag Die Set - love when I die can be used more than one way!


This first card actually works really well for even a guy card! I had fun creating the background by adding splatters on kraft paper with white paint, gold watercolors, and black ink mist. I didn't let them dry in between, so it kind of gave a fun effect where they mixed together!


My second card today features a couple of my favorite things from this release!


First off, that gorgeous background which is part of the Brushed Plaid Stamp Set! I stamped it with a soft green ink on a panel of white cardstock, then stamped the gorgeous Have a Nice Day Stamp set over the top in black pigment ink, then heat embossed it with clear powder for a nice shine.


Finished off by trimming that panel down, mounting over a thin white frame, then mounting onto a kraft cardbase on which I used the largest Stitched Rectangle Die. Nice and flat and one layer - but I love how detailed that stamp set is!

  8. Heather, I love that your first card would be a great masculine card as well as feminine, that is always a plus for me. While looking at it, I couldn't help but think the sentiment would also be perfect on a wine tag if you were gifting a bottle of wine to a couple on their Anniversary.
    Love the Brushed Plaid stamp set (Oh my, what you could do with that one...L♥VE IT!) and the Have a Nice Day set. That card is beautiful. A great job on both!
