I was visiting with my stamping buddy, Ibby, today and she had seen an idea by Mary Fish that she wanted to try. I was not convinced that this die was something I wanted to purchase. Still not completely convinced as this technique, while simple was a bit time consuming. But I thought it would be fun using today's Color Challenge colors. I do like the look. No dessert for me today. The chocolate chip and crumb cake are my neutrals.

Oh what fun, a new technique and scrapping buddy time!!!! Nice to see something different and the colors are well balanced! I think you should consider making more.

I saw that on Mary Fish's blog too, but I thought it would be time consuming like you. I like your pattern and the way you can place the different colors wherever you want. This card could be for several occasions~

A stunning card with the embedded die cuts in a fish scale motif. Like your random color arrangement and I can see where gluing all the little pieces in securely would take a bit of time.....but well worth the effort.

Kathy, I saw this too, and wondered the same thing about the die - guess WHAT - it is in the weekly deals at SU that started today - NOW it appeals a little more, since it is 25% less!!! You did a great job on this with the neutrals and 3 colors!!
