Join us! It is DIE week at Just Us Girls. Sue is challenging us to make a card using dies incorporating SPRING or EASTER. I love inlay dies, and this one from A Pocketful of Happiness is wonderful. I selected bright spring colors, then mixed and matched the pieces to create four cards. This inlay die does have some waste. Numerous pieces from the yellow, pink, and purple A2 sheets were discarded. In general, I use a dryer sheet behind each die cut to keep the pieces together. I line the background panels with 4.25" Scortape, then reinsert all the small pieces...a simple process. The final touches are a layered sentiment and hot pink gems.

Hello Spring is the perfect sentiment to go with your brightly colored flowers, Elizabeth.
You do those inlay dies so beautifully Elizabeth. Stunning and oh so colourful and fun.
