I am so excited today to be a part of this month's Lil' Inker's November Release Blog Hop as their Guest Designer! I was so thrilled to be asked to join the Design Team this month in unveiling the November Release. Every month I enjoy hopping along with the Design Team to see their beautiful creations and this month I have a spot in the que!
We all love Lil' Inker dies and most of you who know me, know that my Stitched Mats are very well loved. You should have arrived here today from the fabulous Isha's blog. If you just happen to be here and would like to start at the beginning of the blop hop go to the Lil' Inker blog for the start.
The first die I am featuring today is the new On the Diagonal die. It is absolutely brilliant, there are so many possibilities. I know I am going to be using it a lot. For today's card I had a bit of fun with it using the die two different ways--once as a belt and then cut in half as trim on the jacket. Do you know who this is?
The other new die set I am showcasing today is the Stitched Ovals, so fabulous. Do you love all the Lil' Inker stitched dies like I do? This card is has three ovals cut in three different colours and then once more in white.
Leave comment's along the way on the Blog Hop for a chance at one of three $15 store credits for Lil' Inker!
The next stop of the Blog Hop is Jen's blog.
