In Focus with Gayatri Murali

Hello!  I have a card to share today that I made for the In Focus with Gayatri Murali challenge over at Winnie & Walter.  This challenge is all about the inlaid die technique.  It was fun to stretch myself for this, I've never done anything quite like it.







I used Gayatri's instructions to make this card.  I first stamped the long, solid triangle from Winnie & Walters Scenery: Rectangled & Triangled using Wplus9's Storybook collection of inks onto white card stock.  Then I cut the big word "hi" (In a Word: Hi Cutaway).  Next I cut the word "hi" from black card stock 8 times and glued them together, finally gluing the stamped "hi" on top.  The word "friend" (In a Word: Friend Cutaway), was cut from black card stock, and is covered with glossy accents which you can't quite tell in my photo but it looks great in person!  Mounted everything on a black card stock base, and added some black sequins.

Hop on over to the Winnie & Walter blog if you'd like to have a go at this technique, it's FUN!

  5. Brilliant! Love the geometric pattern in pastel colours. The inlaid die is big and subtle and adds dimension. Love it. Thanks for playing along with me at Winnie & Walter.
