Here are some of the cards that I created using some of the hacks and the new Nuvo mini ink cubes:
On the first card, I used the Butterfly Kisses stamp set and created an ombre inked effect by rolling the mini inks onto the edge of the stamps. Because the inks are so small, they give you more control and an overall smoother result.
For the second example, I used the Butterfly Kisses dies and added ink directly onto the die cut. This is a simple way to quickly add color to die cuts and add shaded dimension around the edges.
I also used the mini ink cube to highlight the script word in the sentiment. This is a great way to highlight certain words and the mini inks give lots of control while inking.
This last example is definitely my favorite! I used the mini ink cubes directly on the paper to create geometric backgrounds. for my pattern, I created diagonal stripes by stamping the inkpad down repeatedly. You can create so many fun patterns with ink cubes because of their small and geometric shape!
For the sentiment, I used Hello die and covered it with Nuvo glaze which makes it pop on such a colorful background!
