Lil' Inker Designs Mini Release Blog Hop

 

Hello and Welcome to a mini release from Lil' Inker Designs!  This is a special blog hop too.  We are joined by most of the girls that attended the Stamping Away craft weekend I help host where they all received a "new, not released yet" stamp set from Laura!  Each of them received one of 2 different designs that you will for sure get plenty of inspiration for during this hop!  You should have arrived from the Lil' Inker Designs blog HERE to get started and for the FULL blog hop list.  Your next stop is a fabulous designer, Heather Nichols!

To get things started, we also have a few "other" new items the DT will be sharing as well!  We are so excited to introduce the Stitched Clouds Cover Up Die!  As you know, Lil' Inker Designs is known for the wonderful patterns and backgrounds the Cover Up Dies offer.  The new Stitched Clouds Cover Up Die will surely be a go-to die for those scene builder cards!

I paired the new Stitched Clouds Cover Up Die with the Angel Pets stamps and dies.  This is a perfect set for sending anyone that has suffered the loss of a dear pet.  I added some shading to my Stitched Clouds background using Distress Ink and added my Copic colored pup along with some vellum "wings".  This sentiment has just the right meaning.....♥.  I also added a few stitched hearts I cut a part from the Hearts Banners Die Set. 

*********************************

Next up, we are releasing these 2 new large sentiment stamps (and be prepared for more in upcoming releases!  Yay!) called You Will Never Regret Being Kind and Be the Reason That Someone Smiles Today.  These stamps are bold and large to be the total focal point of your card when paired with different backgrounds!    My first card uses Distress Oxide inks to create my own striped background to which I overstamped the sentiment once the stripes were dry.  (I also spritzed the Distress Oxide ink wtih water droplets and blotted with a paper towel)  

***************************************

My final card uses pattern paper and design to showcase the sentiment.  Here I've used a bold black pattern and paired it with a chartreuse green color from the pattern.  I love how it turned out!  I added in some rounded, stitched edges with the Border Builders Die Set.  To the sentiment design, I added lots of extra white detail with my Signo Uni-ball Pigment pen and some green Copic detail to the banner.
