Creative Use of Stamp and Die

Hello friends! 
I am popping in to share a card with lots of stamping (Lovely Lilac) and die-cutting (Layered Leaves).
https://shrsl.com/26euyhttps://shrsl.com/26eut
I started out with the stamping part. Remember Generation Stamping
If you are new to stamping, you must learn how to do Generation Stamping. 
It is much like repeated stamping... except "funner"! 

many thanks

I always try to do the faint stamping part first if I can. Namely, you stamping first on the scrap paper first, then you stamped the slight faint 2nd/3rd generation stamping onto the desired spot on your card stock. 
many thanks -003

I stamped the images in Distress Oxide Ink: Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves). Once I was happy with the stamping, I took out a piece of alcohol-inked paper and die cut it.
many thanks -002

Here I used the "Inlaid Die-cutting" technique and cut off the border on the card stock. I then pieced them all back together. The use of kraft card stock is to show the contrast and interest. 
many thanks -001

Hope you like the idea and design. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I must admit that this is one of my Virginia favorites! Incredible components. PS. Thanks for the daily Lego insta stories photos. Jim and I so enjoy them.

The color variation of the lilacs is lovely. The inlaid die cut edge really adds a nice touch to the card.
