Lil’ Inker Designs: December 2016 Release – Day 2 (+GIVEAWAY!)

12 Dec

Good morning and welcome to the second day of the December release for Lil’ Inker Designs!  We’re introducing a bunch of gorgeous stamps and dies and they’re all available right now!  I love that Laura doesn’t make you wait to shop the new release so I totally understand if you want to go shop now, but make sure you come back and comment for a chance to win the entire December 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 showcasing the awesome Sassy Script capitals that coordinate beautifully with our original Sassy Script alphabet set!

I wanted to let my sentiment shine so I kept my card simple with just some heat-embossing and pigment ink blending!  I stamped my sentiment with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  Next I stamped the trees and snowflakes from Rustic Christmas and heat-embossed them with the same embossing powder.  I blended white pigment ink over the cardstock.  I blended it a little dark around the edges and lighter in the middle.  Finally I added a few sparkling clear sequins to add a little sparkle!

You should have arrived from Jennifer and Karen is your next stop.  If you get lost you can find the full hop list below!  Leave a comment on each stop along the hop and one lucky commenter will win the entire December release!

Happy hopping!!

❤️❤️❤️ My friend @lstein0 is a miracle worker! Rogue is very much NOT a cuddly lap cat. She’s happy to come to you when she wants attention but she never wants to lay next to us. Until she discovered the soft and comfy blanket Lisa crocheted for me...and she loves it enough that she’s willing to share it with me and actually rest her head on my leg! 😱😱😱 Also pictured, a VERY jealous Gambit as that is usually where he lays. 😂 #tortiesofinstagram #torties
