POP of Color with Inlay Die Cut Background with Simon Says Stamp

 Hello Crafters! 

Happy Monday! 

Normally I'm like It's Monday, Yay! Meh. 

But we're going to try to be more positive today. 

I hope your day is starting off completely amazing :) 

I shared this card a few weeks ago over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog I really love the way it came out even though it's not the original design. 

Honestly though sometimes the best cards are the ones that didn't start out as you originally intended. This is definitely one of them.   

I stamped out a few flowers and colored them up with my Copic markers. I have loved yellow with gray for quite a long time so it seemed an easy choice to pair them together. 

I used the heart Mandala die to do a inlay background out of some cool gray cardstock and even though those flowers are bright and fun the background might be the best part. 

You can watch the video below to see how I kept all the pieces parts together. 

Full disclosure I was too scared to pull the backing off. I actually did eventually and it totally stayed together. No reason to be worried whatsoever! 

Thank you guys so much for stopping in to visit!

I hope you have an incredible start to your week!
