Congratulations

 Hello crafters!  Today's offering is a bit different, but it showcases the lovely inlaid technique.  I started by cutting the Austrian border in white to use as my base. I attached it to a sticky adhesive sheet so the open "fall away" areas now had adhesive exposed.   I cut the border several more times in varying shades of pale pink, rose and raspberry.  Each time I picked a different portion of the fall away from the die cut and used them to in lay them back into the original white base piece.  I decided when I finished it that I wanted to make a wide border so I repeated the same process so I was able to put two of them together.  I will admit that this is a rather time consuming process, but I find it strangely satisfying!  When finished it has a lovely smooth feeling to it, with only the embossing giving it texture.  I stamped my sentiment on a larger piece of raspberry card and added my borders below it.  To add a bit of a floral detail, I cut the Delicate Daisies Open Petal in black and made a flower with a flatback pearl centre.  I added it to the card with a Curled Vine embellishment.  The card was finished with a pierced white mat, a thin black mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
