CardMaker Magazine and Lil' Inker Designs Blog Hop

CardMaker 

Hello!  Welcome to the CardMaker Magazine/Lil' Inker Designs Blog Hop.  We are excited to collaborate with the CardMaker Magazine's DT for this fun event!  

You should have arrived from my good friend Heather Pulvirenti's blog.  If not, please start back over at the CardMaker Magazine blog for the full blog hop list.  Make sure to check out the bottom of my post on how to win a $35 Gift Certificate from Lil' Inker Designs!

Our theme is ANYTHING GOES!  This gave me the perfect opportunity to use a set that was released a while back but have fallen in love with again.....So Prickly.  I've paired it with the newly released Silly Stitched Squares Dies for some layers on my card.  One of the layers is from the coordinating So Prickly paper pack.

My cactus image was stamped with my FAVORITE inks from Fresh Ink by Impress Cards and Crafts.  (what's even better, they are having a local sale and later this weekend an on-line sale-----not to enable or anything!)  I stamped the cactus in the main color and then added shading with a darker/different color using my Misti.  My cactus was hand trimmed and added with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was white heat embossed onto a thin strip of black cardstock, ends trimmed into a banner, and adhered with foam adhesive.

    The silly square stitched dies are my latest purchase of Lil'Inker Designs. To be honest I haven't used them yet but today I got some inspiration how I can use them for the first time.
