Isn't this a great picture, so many elements and a beautiful color pallet to inspire! Several challenges ago, Vicki, introduced me to a technique called Die Cut Inlay......which I love. I have used that technique on my card using a die from PTI called Rainbow Stripes and gray & white cardstock. I, also, used it with the "Hi" on the focal image using letters from the Memory Box Urban Alphabet dies. The flowers are from the Gina K. Designs set Lots of Letters 2. I discovered that the largest flower die from the Verve Petals & Wings set fits the flower stamp on the GKD Lots of Letters 2 set perfectly. I used it to cut the flowers for this card. Don't you love it when you can mix your sets together! I used a Simon Says Medium Dots stencil with GKD Ocean Mist ink on the white Spellbinders Labels Sixteen piece and sponged the edges. It is not showing up very well in the picture. I, also, added a Cheery Lynn Mini Fanciful Flourish and some black and white gingham ribbon.
