Hello there, I'm back today with a card I've had in mind for a while but have only just managed to get round to achieving it. Inlay with dies is such lovely technique and it looks ever so effective. Has I have Silhouette Cameo I thought it would be good to use this instead of metal dies that you have to purchase.
Created scalloped rectangle with a stitched border inset into the scallop panel, then typed Happy and centred this to the middle of the panel in the Silhouette Studio program and placed piece of Crelando grey card onto Cricut mat and cut the design out on the Silhouette Cameo. Using the same Happy sentiment I then cut it out of Crelando aqua blue card.
Adhered strips of strong double sided tape to the back of the Happy sentiment and inlay the words into the panel with tweezers and gently rubbed on the back to make sure the letters were adhered properly. Using my DIY stamping tool, I stamped birthday from the Clearly Besotted stamp set using versa fine onyx black ink pad. Applied double sided foam tape to the rear of the panel and adhered this to A2 US card blank. Finally adding three AB sequins and adhering them with micro glue dots.
Do you like the inlay technique? if so please do share you thoughts with me, as I love to hear other crafter's ideas. Enjoy the rest of your day.

DeleteI do love doing inlay technique, and it looks really clever with the Cameo. I invariably find though that I forget to put the Stick It! on the back of the inlay piece and lose the tiny bits like the dot of the 'i'. Lol! Lovely. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Xx
ReplyDeleteI know what you need, think we all done that at some point. Thank you for all the kindness you have shown me in 2016 and hope you continue to do so in 2017. Big Hugs to my crafty friend xx
DeleteThe inlay technique is perfect for simple card with that extra "something". And I love that colour combo. The sequins add just the right dash of girly sparkle. Great job, Missy.
