Welcome to the final day of the February release for Lil’ Inker Designs! I’m sure you’ve been inspired and wowed and woo-ed over the past couple of days…hopefully, you have your orders in already! I have two more cards for you today using the Darling Diamonds set and Circles & Diamonds Stitched die plate.
First off is my favorite of this release. If you read my post on Monday, you know I found inspiration on Pinterest. Here’s the pic that inspired this next little diddy.
{I can’t ever get this green paper to photograph/edit properly, sorry!} I really wanted to clear emboss the oval-ish shapes but knew it would be a nightmare with embossing powder getting caught up in the stitched detail. I found that just stamping in VersaMark set the tone just fine. Some large black rhinestones at all the points created the perfect background for a sweet sentiment, also set off with a row of small rhinestones. The sentiment is from The Sugar Kissed Cottage Eat Dessert First. This particular flower is not a clip or anything special, but I thought this might be a nice way to give a little pin or clip to give a friend for their hair.
Here’s a second card with a layout that’s just a little different
The little woodgrain pattern diamond is rotated once each time it’s stamped – just a fun little extra detail if you look uber guber close. The colors are Distress Pumice Stone, Scattered Straw and Worn Lipstick, as well as PTI Ocean Tides. I popped this all up on dimensional foam tape, added a bow tied with embroidery floss and stamped the sentiment. Easy peasy and mail-able! Yay! Gotta love those cards that don’t need extra postage but still pack a lot of punch!
