Lattice Ornaments Christmas Bells

Hello, my friends!!  My card share today features the Spellbinders Lattice Ornaments Christmas Bells dies.  I made this card to honor this week’s Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers, the lovely Jan (i.e., Precious Kitty).  It is a pleasure to be inspired by and case one of Jan’s cards!   She is a wonderful person who creates beautiful artwork and leaves the nicest comments on my work posted on Splitcoaststampers. Jan’s “Ornament and Plaid” card is the card I selected to case.  This is my card:

I love the Christmas ornament and plaid paper on Jan’s card.  Therefore, I created a card with two ornaments and a plaid panel.  However, my ornaments are bells and except for the white and red, the colors I used are different.  Also my card features the “Inked Inlay” technique.

The following provides a closeup of the inked inlay technique used.  I first colored with Copics a piece of card stock in various colors.  I simply colored with back and forth strokes of each color.  Then I die cut the bell from this paper and a piece of white card stock.  I added a strong adhesive behind the die cut on the white card stock, and laid the colored die cut bell over the white, matching the exact image.  Then I pushed the colored pieces through the white card stock to create the inlay.

I used the same colored piece of card stock to die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment to place at an angle on the embossed, white card stock.

I hope you enjoy the look of the card featuring the inlay technique.
