Day Two of Lil' Inker Designs DT Blog Hop!

It's day TWO of the Lil' Inker Designs (with ag designs)
Design Team BLOG HOP!


We are featuring for a second day the NEW Fringe Flower Die.


I am Part of today's Hop. I hope you hopped over by way of Teresa's Blog.
If not be sure you go in Hop order and post comments as we are giving away prizes at the end of the Hop.


Here is my project for day two of Fringe Flower Die's.






































Being a Graphic Designer and having a strange love of type. This was a study in creative uses of type.


At Laura's house one day I started with kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink that she had already cut into a unique tri-fold card. I then used the black patterned paper from the mini stack B  and W text print series.


I used our Lil' Inker Sentiment Flag die to cut out pieces from an old Catalogue of Typefaces (Fifth Edition) from The Hoefler Type Foundry and another piece from the mini stack. I cut the flags in half and at different lengths to create the pieces under the Flower.


In having so much fun with the Fringe Flower Die I also cut some strips from the Typeface catalogue. I folded one strip in half to make a fringe border of the alphabet on one fold of my card. 


beautiful sticker with a red border inspired me to use Pure Poppy felt from Papertrey Ink for the focal point of my typographic card. The wonderfully cute Fringe Flower Die made this red felt flower which has a tutorial here. Then still needing a bit of balance, I used a Background Basics: Text Styles stamp by Papertrey Ink with watermark ink by VersaMark on the left side to finish my card. Here are some close ups of my card.











Thanks for hopping and remember to leave a comment to be entered for a chance to win great prizes from Lil' Inker Designs.
Next on the hopping path is your last stop for today at The Lil' inker Store, where you can find these items that I used in my card.



Check back here tomorrow for day three of the New Release Blog Hop by the Lil' Inker Design Team.
