I am excited to share a fun summer card using the Summer Gnome stamp set and the inlaid die cutting technique.

I have had the Summer Gnome stamp set and the Uppercase Condensed Alpha die set on my wish list for ages.  I finally treated myself to a nice big order of goodies directly from my Kat Scrappiness wish list!  Of course I had to play with a few things right away!

I created a little scene with the Summer Gnome stamp set using my Misti and my favorite black ink pad.  I colored in the stamped images with my Copics and also created masks for the images.

The masks allowed me to cover and protect the colored images so that I could use the Scattered Straw, Tea Dye, and Tumbled Glass distress oxide inks to add the sand and the sky to the scene.  I added some stippling with my Copics to add some texture to my sand.  I felt like this completed my scene.

I then die cut out the word “Hello” with the alpha dies.  I also cut 3 extra dies for each letter out of a blue lagoon cardstock.  The blue also served as a mat cut at 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″ below my card front panel which is cut at 4 x 5-1/4″.

I stacked the three h’s together with my glue tube and added the h that I die cut from the card front scene.  I did this for all the letters and added them back into my card.

I absolutely love this technique! That dimension and pop of color are just so fun!
