Inlaid Die Cutting and Copics

Hello!  I know it's late for me to be posting, but I just couldn't let the Winnie & Walter Belated Birthday Challenges end without joining one last time.  So without adieu I am playing along with the Inlaid Die Cutting Challenge with Mayuri...

I love the look of inlaid die cutting as it adds a new dimension to a project, but I wanted to do something a little different with it.  So I started by stamping the floral images from the In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet with Joni Andaya randomly with my MISTI.  I then ran the happy die through my machine in the center of the panel.  I chose to only color the floral images that were on the cut for interest.  The background felt too plain since I wasn't coloring in the full floral images and I decided to do create a dotted background with various blue Copics.  Finally, I propped it all up on a die cut panel from the Audrey Cutaways, and finished it all off with a mix of colorful sequins.

I wish my photo could be better, but as I am taking this at night and the challenge ends within hours it was the best I could muster, hopefully I'll be able to get a better shot in the morning to share.

I am also linking this up to the Simon Says Stamp Wed. Anything Goes Challenge and the Marker Pop Anything Goes Challenge.

Happy Crafting!
