So every now and again, something comes along that becomes your go to product..
and there is no hiding it, that for me it’s this amazing French Marigold Die Set by Sue Wilson
As this die cuts, it creates these amazing inlay indentations in your card, that opens the door to some lovely techniques which I am going to share with you!
You can find the Shopping List with all of the products I have used at the bottom of the page.
IDEA ONE
Brush an ink pad over the top of the flower to highlight the inlay; experiment with various inks and card stock to create amazing effects.
Top Tip - Use a brayer if you find the ink pad you’ve chosen is soft. It will also help colour the grooves as well.
