Lil' Inker Designs Kick Off Hop!!

We are so glad you could join us for our very first blog hop for Lil' Inker Designs. If you came here by way of Alicia's blog, you are on the right track! If not, make sure you start at the beginning over at Laura's blog because there are terrific prizes for those who complete the hop by commenting on each blog. There are only 12 blogs and you have a week, so relax and enjoy!  The end date for commenting is Sunday, August 14th at 11:59 PST.

Today the Design Team is featuring the Rainbows and Clouds stamps and matching dies.  Here are the graphics of what they look like:

So what's a Blog Hop without a project?  Let's get started!  I decided that since one of my favorite things about this set of dies are the wonderful clouds, I would focus on them.  You may have cloud dies, oh yes, but do you have cloud dies that give dimension and character?  With that I mean, do you see the perforated lines?  Those are on the die!  I love this little detail that Laura and Ariana included with these clouds!!! 

I die cut several clouds and lightly sponged Spring Rain ink around the perimeter of the clouds.  I love this effect as it give just the hint of color on the otherwise white background.  Then to add dimension to my clouds, the ones on the rainbow are popped up with foam tape several times.

Next I wanted to highlight the fabulous sentiments that are just great to mix and match or use independently.  OMG seriously, look at the font!!  I adore that it is a handwriting font.  So different and unique!

Here is a closeup of the actual "to die for" cloud dies!!!  hehe  Now you can see details!!

Well, goodness that was fun!  Thank you so much for stopping by my blog on the Lil' Inker Blog Hop.  I hope I have given you some inspiration for the Rainbows and Clouds set.  I know it will be well loved at my house!  Please make sure you leave a comment on my blog because Lil' Inker Designs is giving away some pretty terrific prizes!  The deadline for commenting is 11:59pm EST, Sunday, August 14th.

Your next stop on the hop is my good friend Jen's blog......and let me say, she has amazed me with her creativity of this set so far.  I can't wait to see what she's created for the hop today!
