LID April Release - Day 2

April 20, 2015


Welcome to day 2 of the Lil' Inker Designs April release!  I've got 3 cards to share with you today, so I am going to get right to it!

Up first is a rainbow colored card that I think would be awesome to give to an upcoming graduate!!  It's clean & simple & full of watercolor...check it out!

I stamped & embossed the connected circles to the front of a watercolor paper block.  Then I painted the circle parts in a rainbow gradient using distress inks.  Once dry, I stamped & embossed the sentiment to it, then accented with jewels.  Then I mounted the watercolor block to an A2 cardbase with foam adhesive.

For my next card I created a fun friendship themed shaker card!  Check it out:

To start I diecut the speech bubble from a white cardstock block, then backed it with a clear sheet.  I stamped the sentiment to the clear sheet in white StazOn ink, then covered the back in foam squares.  I added a block of patterned paper to the middle of a light blue cardbase, and poured sequins to the middle of it.  Then I adhered the white cardstock block to the front, secured the adhesive & then shook the sequins loose.  To finish I diecut the word "seriously" from red cardstock & accented it with enamel dots.

For my last card, I did another clean & simple watercolor card.  Here it is!
To start I painted a watercolor paper block with distress inks, then splattered it with black watercolor.  I stamped the sentiment to a thin white cardstock strip, then trimmed the edges into an arrow shape.  I layered the sentiment strip to the front with a knot of gold thread.  Then I accented with enamel dots to finish.
