I made this card using an A2 size card base from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed a panel of white cardstock to be a bit smaller than the card base to leave a border. I wanted to do a technique called die cut inlay. That's where the die sits inside of the cut of the paper instead of on top of the paper. It makes for an amazing effect. I die cut the sword fern several times and ink blended them in some various oxide inks and set aside. I then took the panel and again using several of my favorite oxide inks, just randomly blended all over the panel. I then splattered some distress inks and white ink on to the panel. When that was dry I then die cut the fern all over the panel and like a puzzle just fit the previously cut ferns in the negatives spots. To adhere the ferns easily in the negative areas I added some adhesive paper to the back of the panel. I die cut a fun sentiment in white cardstock 3 times and adhered together for thickness. I then added some clear sequins and called it a day!
