Welcome
I wanted simple card to send a note to a friend, and started by picking up the piece of blue spotted paper.
I was also aware of a current challenge to us inlayed die cuts.... so that was another influence
The Die is the M/B Prim Poppy - I love its classic clean lines!
The sentiment stamp I embossed in blue - it is from KiwiStamping, and laid it up the side of the blue panel, adhering it to the panel, and the card base behind the panel, and let it lift slightly to add some interest. All edges were sponged with Faded Jeans DI.
The card base was embossed using the Swiss Dots folder, extending it to fill the card surface, as the British card sizes are slightly longer than the American. I adapted a technique I saw on a video over at the Gina K site.

Love the shade of the blue and the texture from the dotty white card. Great in laying and beautiful die x
ReplyDeleteThis die is so versatile, and works so nicely to inlay. It's always elegant, no matter what color you choose and your inlay is perfectly done! I like the dotty paper with the dotty embossing...it lets that pretty floral stem shine! Well done! TFS & Have a good weekend. Hugs & Prayers.
