Lil' Inker Hop - Bows, Day 2


I haven't been so excited about a
darling little die in quite a while!
I am absolutely giddy. :)
Really!

has done it again...
check out this perfect
little (and BIG) bow.
Seriously?! 
Can it get any cuter?

Well - be sure to follow down

Bow Die - Small


Project 1 of 2:
 I tripled the bows!
 The little matchbox die is from SU!
and the button, The Girls Paperie.

Here's a overview of a how-to:
Die cut three (I did one extra) small bows.
Place a quick drying adhesive on the centers of
two of the bows.
Stack.
Start folding them in to the center.
Done!

Now for even more cuteness - 

Bow Die - Large

And the 2nd project:
Holy heck, I couldn't help but make a
mens bow tie and shirt with these stripes.
I could just see my bow til lovin'
husband wearing this exact combination. 
And those signature stitches that
are part of Lil' Inker dies. Yummers.
I created a pocket and placard with some quick
stitching on the sewing machine.

So do you think you can live without
such creative darling-ness?!

  23. This is one SMOKIN card!!! Is the bow tie made of ribbon or is it a DSP? Quite a pleasant change from the regular "old" folded shirt/toe!!
    Masterpiece!!!
