Crazy Die-cutting

Have you ever had an idea that turns crazy when you try and create it?

But then you are so stubborn that you spend a ridiculous amount of time actually finishing it?

Well that was me today. TWICE! (Will post the second card soon)

Before I even saw the Online Holiday Class on diecutting, I had this idea that the Memory Box Piestra tile border die would make an ideal Christmas "holly" like pattern if I just coloured in some of the patterns. So when I saw Jennifer's Inlay technique, I thought it would be great to combine the two.




Thought I was keeping it simple by using just 2 dies, but because the pieces are so small the puzzle making part got quite hairy! And I LOVE making puzzles.

So this is a one time event - enjoy it as I will not do it again.



I used the WPlus9 Joy die, and the Hero Arts flower die. Coloured with copics, added Hero Arts metallic accents to create holly and gold liquid pearl for the flower.


Will enter this into the Seize the Sketch Challenge too (I turned it).
