Inlaid diecut flower

Hi everyone, we wound our clocks back early this morning as daylight savings ended. It was so nice to spend the extra hour in bed!

I'm starting early on some Mother's Day cards, (we celebrate it in May here in Australia).

I love these pandas but they stamp with a scratchy finish and I can't help myself but colour it in so it's an even black! I use archival jet black as it's nice and dark.

The challenge at Addicted to CAS is inlaid dies.

I used a sentiment die from Lawn Fawn and added a flower die from Memory Box , snipping it to suit, at the end. Its cut from a scrap of leftover card coloured with green and silver gelatos'and has a lovely shimmer.

 I diecut the petals from a scrap (and I mean a tiny scrap) of  pink brushos paper left over from another project. I inlaid these into the petal outline.

Using up snippets means I can pop over to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.

I'm also playing at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where it's anything goes,

and at Simon Says Work It Wednesday where the theme is pastels.

Supplies:

Mama Elephant pandemonium stamp; archival jet black ink; SU fancy fans embossing folder;

Lawn Fawn Mother's Day border die; Memory Box Arianna Sprig die; brushos; gelatos; foam tape.

Thanks for visiting, Cathy x
