Hello! The day is finally here to start sharing projects with the BRAND NEW April release 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!
My first card I used the new One Love Stamp Set - it makes me want to add John 3:16 over the top of it - love the heart shaped earth! For this first card, I stamped and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder on watercolor paper, then added a wash of watercolors over the top in two different colors.
Once that dried, I tore the edges for some texture and mounted it on a white cardbase. Sentiment is heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock, and a few clear droplets are the final finishing touch!
Next up - I thought this sentiment was a PERFECT fit for this image to turn it into a graduation card!
For this card, I used two different colors of Fresh Inks to do a bit of ombre blending on the image. I used my MISTI to keep it lined up, and stamped several times for a nice solid impression and good blending between the colors.
I then stamped my sentiment and stars from Grad Class (a previous release) and added the year with the new Grad Class 2018 Supplement. (These are on sale together for a bundle price - or if you bought the Grad Class set last year, you can purchase just the Supplement to bring it up to date for this year!).
