Perfect Pairs - Lil' Inker Designs SALE!!!

Hello! Super excited to share some fun cards and an awesome sale with you today! Lil' Inker Designs is having a 16% off sale between May 13th and May 16th - valid on everything except new releases from April. SOOO awesome! I'm sharing some cards this morning using Perfect Pairs, and the recently added Perfect Pairs Dies (that are eligible for the sale price, by the way!) - this was my first time playing with this stamp set, and so seriously fun!

Here is the sale info:

And here are each of those cards - I was going to color all the cute little pairs, but once I got the watercolor background done, I just decided I liked them in simple black and white - kind of pops a little better!

I used the Silly Stitched Die set to cut my plaid paper and watercolor paper.

I created each watercolor background by mixing together different colors to get the shade I wanted, creating a light watercolor wash and swirling it to get some good drips. Next, I dried that layer with a heat gun, then smooshed the watercolor paper down into the extra color on the mat to add another layer and some fun random splatters.

Once that dried, I mounted that layer with foam adhesive over the coordinating plaid papers.

I stamped and die cut the little cute pairs of each card, and heat embossed my sentiments on a strip of black cardstock, hand trimmed into a banner.

Finished off by mounting that strip on the watercolor background, and attaching the cute little pairs with foam adhesive.

Here are links to the products I used on this including affiliate links where possible. Have fun shopping the sale at Lil' Inker Designs! Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!!
