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!
Comment along the hop for your chance at prizes – two $10 gift certificates to the Lil’ Inker Designs store – randomly placed on a secret blog. You should’ve arrived from Judith’s blog.

Beautiful! Love the floral accent on the first one, and the woodgrain middles on the second!
You make me want to buy this stuff--which is the point, I know! Beautiful, beautiful work!
Wonderful cards! Love how elegant and sophisticated the first is and how charming the second is....truly versatile!
Wonderful colors on both!
WOW!!!!! these cards are gorgeous!!! i love how versatile these stamp sets are! tfs :)
Love the rhinestones and pop of red on your first card! And the woodgrain on the second one is fantastic!
BRilliant take on that Pinterest cake (wouldn't you love THAT beauty for your next birthday...). The second card, like you say, illustrates how much interest you can create on a flat card (having just paid extra to send some bulky ones, I'm all for that). Uber-guber good job!
I love the circle/diamond die. It looks so much like a quilt design. The yellow card really pops with the red flower. Great job.
Beautiful, I love how you are coloring up these backgrounds.
Oooh, fantastic photo from Pinterest! You totally did it justice through your card. I love it. ;-) And I love the second card, too! Beautiful colors. I sense a Lil' Inker order about to be placed...
Pretty cards! Love the bling on the first one and the color combo on the second!

these are both gorgeous cards!! such a pretty BG stamp!
Very nice cards. Love the use of versa mark on the 1st and the rotated wood grain on the 2nd.
Great cards today! Love your techniques, beautiful!
Really different ideas - both great.
LOVE the first card - sooooo striking with that great color scheme. The second is sweet too, with your fancy stamping - I will always be a quilter at heart.
