Good morning and welcome to the final day for the August 2017 release for Lil’ Inker Designs! Head over to do a little shopping, but make sure you come back and comment for a chance to win the entire August release! That’s correct…one lucky commenter will win everything! There’s more details on how to win at the end of my post!
Today I’m sharing a pair of cards using the Modern Mandalas set and a tag using the Eat Cake set!
I love the bold look of the mandalas and thought I’d go for metallics on black with a bright pop of color!
For my first card I stamped the mandalas from Modern Mandalas onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed them with silver embossing powder. Then I stamped the sentiment onto teal cardstock and used the coordinating dies from Modern Mandalas to die-cut it. I added a tangle of silver thread behind the sentiment and adhered it to the card with foam mounting tape. To finish the card I added a few teal sequins.
My second card follows a similar design layout but I used gold and pink instead of silver and teal! I love the bright pop of color with the metallics!
Finally I made a tag using the Eat Cake stamps and the fun Fringe Scalloped tag die!
I started die-cutting the Fringe Scalloped Tag with kraft cardstock. Then I blended cracked pistachio, salty ocean, and wilted violet distress oxide inks onto white cardstock. I dried them with my heat gun, stamped the cake from Eat Cake with versamark, and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I die-cut it with the coordinating dies and then adhered it to the tag with foam mounting tape. I added a little teal twine and added a few accents from Encouraging Words with white pigment ink!
And that’s it for day 3! You can find my first two days of posts here and here!
