Take a Deep Breath

Hello!  Here's another card that I made using some more of the newest Lil' Inker Designs goodies!  I cut two of the Anytime Tags out of patterned paper and then embossed the sentiment from the Stay Beautiful Stamp Set with Zing Aqua Embossing Powder.  

The bow was tied with some scrap fabric I had on hand.  I love the texture that the fabric adds.   It's hard to tell from the photo, but my yellow striped frame on the card base is a window that I cut using the Stitched Mats: Rectangles die.  

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you are all having a great day!

Sweet Spring: PTI February Blog Hop

**Check out my Stamps for Sale page by clicking here!**

Today I am participating in the February PTI Blog Hop Challenge.  The challenge this month was to create something with a Spring theme.

 I used the Circle Scribbles set to make my flowers and added in some greenery from the Mini Blooms set (I liked it better prior to the green being added, oh well!).  I stamped the back side of the scribbles to make the solid images and then embossed the scribbles on top in three different colors.  The "green" flowers are actually yellow but I had a hard time picking up that color in my photo. 

I used the Tipped Top dies to cut my white panel and then trimmed the access off of the side.  I embossed the Sweet Speech bubble with aqua embossing powder and popped it up with dimensionals.

I made another card for this challenge but you know how you start playing around and before you know it the card is finished and you realize that it doesn't fit the theme of the challenge at all? Yeah, that happened to me this time around so I started over.  :)  This was the card that I ended up with. 

Thanks for stopping by!  You can join in the fun today too if you'd like!  Pop on over to Nichole's blog for more details!

Stacked Hearts

I made this card for the last Lil' Inker Designs release but never shared it.  I thought it was about time to do so!  I LOVE these new dual stitched hearts dies!  Here I stacked the three largest sizes on a monochromatic cardstocks.   The sentiment is from the fun "It's Today Right?" stamp set.  I love the font for the sentiment!

Here's a closeup of the stacked hearts.  The tiniest hearts I attached with glue dots to the card front.

Thank you for visiting!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

The Smile You Gave Me

**Check out my stamps for sale here!**

I placed a PTI order this month. I haven't done that in quite a while but I really, really liked some of the products that were released this month!

Today I had a short time to sit down and create and I pulled out my favorite set from the release, Circle Scribbles.

I knew what I wanted to do with this set from the moment I saw the first preview.  I used the scribbles to make "flowers" of sort.  I used the back side of the stamp that is usually against the block to stamp the solid images.  Then, I flipped the stamp over to the "right" side and stamped each of the images with VersaMark ink and then embossed with gold embossing powder.  

I love how the gold looks embossed on top and how the solid images look water colored.  The sentiments are from the Building Blocks set which I think is a great way to stack sentiments for a different look!

Thanks for stopping by!
