Warmest Wishes

Happy Sunday to everyone!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope I can provide you with a little inspiration before Christmas.

For this Christmas creation, I've gone back to the more traditional colors and used an inlaid technique.  I'm sure there might be a different term than inlaid, but it is the word that pops in my head when I use this technique:)

The inlaid technique is super easy to do and creates some fun looks.  This technique uses the negative portion the die creates and the positive portion and combines them.  Each of the dies in this card was used twice (one to create the negative and the second to create the positive).  I used Frosty Border (98171) to create the negative image on the gold paper and the used it again with the burgundy paper to create the positive cut and inlaid the burgundy piece into the gold paper.

The tree in the center of the card was created using Winterland Tree (98168).  First cut the negative image into the gold paper; cut a second tree out of the burgundy paper and inlay this piece into the gold paper.  I finished off the card with a few crystals and stamped the sentiment (B1946) in black Stazon.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.
