Inlaid Diecutting with a Twist

 Hello friends!

Hope this post finds you well. I am feeling better and have fully recovered from the Colonoscopy that I endured this past Wednesday. All is well.  It is important to get the colons checked and you should not skip it just because it is unpleasant to prep. Life is MORE important than the slight inconvenience we face. So, that is my public announcement for the day. Back to the regular share....

Today's card is to remind you to use intricate dies and make it look extra special.

Altenew-Lingonberry Branch Stamp & Die Bundle

This design is rather easy to do and yet it gives the card the subtle sophistication.

There are just three simple elements: stamping, coloring and diecutting. The extra mile you go for is the inlaid die-cutting part. Notice that I die cut the white card stock? I then inlaid the colored die cut piece and cemented into one piece. This can be done with Washi tape or double-sided tape.

The last part of fit the entire cut piece over the gray card stock. I added the white-embossed sentiment and embellished it with metallic strings and enamel dots.

I think you outdid yourself with this card. It's beautiful and love the neutrals you chose to use to make the lingonberries pop.
Yes, I always get my colonoscopies when they're prescribed. Someday, hopefully, they'll find a way to streamline the prep.

Oh this technique is great, you always think outside the box. Great idea! I follow my recommended guidelines every 5 years from a history of breast cancer. The Lord has been good, it's been 18 years. I'm glad you had your procedure and all went well.
