Detailed Florals Inlay

This A2 card was created with SU Detailed Florals Dies. It is worked in white,  tempting turquoise and  island indigo blue papers. The dies are cut through the white and turquoise, and adhered, then tiny cutouts created with the turquoise paper are inlaid into the die cuts and glued in place. Simon Says Stamp Frosty Fractals sequins and other embellishments are addedto complete the project/  The sentiment is the  bottom of the diecut Curved Happy Birthday by Memory Box.--The "happy" is hand penned with Sakura matching glaze pen.  I am anxious to do this card in other colors and papers.  Save those tiny cutouts carefully.and grrouping them in quadrants of the diecut as you remove it from the die saves time when you begin to inlay. (Unless, of course, you love thousand piece puzzles!)

This is Detailed Florals ANOTHER WAY

In this card I used the smaller of the floral edges with the cut out.  I masked that  and then              used Distress Oxide inks spritzed with both water and Shimmer mist (detail does not show in the photo! ):.  The lavendar background is partially embossed with "weathered" by Taylored Expressions.  Silver elastic thread and strip pearls edge the diecut and the "thinking of you sentiment" is Scripty Sayings by Lawn Fawn.stamped with Hero Arts ink.
