Have you ever created an inlay die cut background? Today I even coloured the entire card front too, but first….
Did you know that Altenew has a new stand-alone die release and I just had to make a few cards to share! We are hopping along at Altenew so you should have arrived here from MICHELLE’s amazing Blog!
I saw these pretty flowers from the Whimsical Garden Layering Die Set and the fine outline screamed out inlay die cut to me and why not do the whole card front hey?
I used Altenew Artist Markers to colour the whole card front, yes you heard me right, I don’t know what I was thinking but it seemed like a great idea at the time lol.
And nothing like a fabulous sentiment used as a cover up…… true! Check it out in the video linked below.
You can see my video or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Therese you have tremendous patience. And the outcome was beautiful.

Beautiful colors! Inlay requires patience and precision but you’ve created a stunning card.
I love the whimsical garden die and your card….even the background coloring. LOL. thanks for showing us a simple, but beautiful card.
Love the soft colors and technique used to make this card – so lovely!

Wow – great card. You have a lot more patience than me!

I always love inlaid cards! The black sentiment really pops against the soft colors- so pretty!
I also enjoy making inlay die cut cards. This is the perfect die to do this technique. Thank you for sharing such a lovely card.
Love when you share your video with the ideas for what worked and what problems you encountered along with other ideas.
Oh gosh, “Suddenly” there is whole lot more to lot from Altenew.
Love the Whimsical Garden Layering die set. Your card is stunning and I appreciate your tips for it’s creation. i would hope that I would have the patience to create an inlay card in this manner, but I’m not sure. Lol! I have covered a mistake with a sentiment in the past and will probably do so again. Yours was the perfect solution and no one knows!!!!
This is so pretty! Love this die and how you inlaid the peach.
A truly lovely card. The colors you chose are beautiful.
Love your inlaid die cut card. I love doing that and this looks like the perfect die set to use for this technique. The colors you used are lovely together.
Love the pastel colors! The inlay technique makes for a great one-layered card. What? no droplets?? 🙂
such an elegant card – thanks for sharing
Worth it! Your colors are really lovely. Well done.
This is so beautiful, Terese. The colors are so soothing. I love inlay.
This is so inspiring, dear Therese. Thank you so much for sharing. I will give this a try with a different die from Altenew — that seems to be collecting dust since I’m running out of ideas to use it. I hope you don’t mind if I use your card as an inspiration for mine.
Have a wonderful week,
Caroline
I love inlaid cards and yours is beautiful!
What more could you say about spring? Beautiful!
Therese, I wish I could color with markers and it came out looking this great. This is beautiful!
Very beautiful and elegant card!
Very elegant card! Thanks for sharing your coloring & yes, we have all had those moments when we were thinking there is an easier way. Your outcome is beautiful.
Really beautiful card Therese. Love this technique ❤️
Beautiful card. I enjoyed your video and appreciate the time it takes to create this lovely card. Hurray for big sentiments!
Simply stunning! Love this new die release and the color combo! Thanks for the inspiration and video Therese!
loved the video, lovely card!
Loving your gorgeous spring card in our gorgeous autumn
So pretty. Love your colors.
So stunning! Beautiful colors!
Lots of effort, but stunning results!
Wow! The artist alcohol markers colored out so smooth! Looks totally like colored cardstock!
Fabulous card with this inlay technique! Beautiful design and colors!
Gorgeous card! So perfect looking!
Beautiful background and I LOVE the sentiment and the way it pops!
Amazingly beautiful card! I love the technique and have never tried it on an entire card. And your coloring is gorgeous!
Beautiful card even if putting the pieces back together is fiddly. You have tremendous patience.
Wow, stunning!
Another lovely “Therese card”! Inlaid cards really are quite beautiful, especially when you can see it & feel it in person. Very luxurious! I feel like as long as you are enjoying the process, it’s ok if some cards take longer or are more fiddly. They are twofors because they bring joy to both the creator & the recipient!
I hope the time helping take care of your father after surgery went (or is still going?) well. I’m sure your parents are appreciative and happy to have time with you!
I watched your video and was so impressed with how you kept track of all the many die cut pieces and colored them appropriately lol! The end result to your detailed work is an absolutely beautiful card, Therese. As always, thanks for the amazing inspiration!
This is gorgeous Therese … great colours
Simply lovely! This hop is filled with inspiration!
Gorgeous set and I adore how you used it here. (I admire your tenacity, as well! lol)
Will have to try your inlay technique. Very pretty.
Beautiful cards! Love, love that stand out black die cut.
Hugs from Canada! 🇨🇦
You used such beautiful and subtle colors!
I can’t believe you took the time to color everything on this card but the look is sooo worth it. Love your color choices and the fact that you kept the coloring simple. Blending colors would have created a much different look and this look is perfect. Thanks for sharing and all the tips! It was also helpful to see how to refill my markers.
Gorgeous card! I love that you colored the background instead of colored cardstock.
Fabulous color combo, Therese!! I love the inlaid dies!
Really pretty card Therese, you have inspired me to try an inlaid technique card. Thank you!
Oh wow, what a gorgeous color scheme. I LOVE the mint background…
Gorgeous card! Love the colors…
Thanks for sharing
I love this technique and your card is very pretty! I’ve got to go shopping soon 🙂
Beautiful card! The inlaid technique is stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Such a pretty card! Thanks for the inspiration.
Inlay cards are so beautiful! You really set a challenge for yourself with repeats of the flower and off the edge. Your colors are so pretty and the result totally worth it. Thanks for the inspiration.
OMG amazing. You have far more patience than me! you knew that already though! You know I would have just grabbed a piece of coloured card 🙂
I love the die cut inlay technique and I adore the Whimsical Garden layering set! Your card is absolutely gorgeous.
Terese, this was beautiful. After watching your video in amazement and realizing how you made it, I couldn’t believe it. No way could I do this! My luck I’d get it almost done and discover I had lost some pieces. Plus I ado not have your patience and steady hand.
Oh my goodness…this card reminds me so much of the colors of the 50’s and 60’s…those fun pastels! So cute!!!
I like the inlay. Can’t wait to watch the video for the how to.
What a gorgeous card! Love the colors!
How I have missed watching your videos not only are they informative but also very entertaining. This has to be one of my all-time favourite cards the soft colours beautiful inlaying and die cutting and I adore the bold sentiment in the centre.
Marie
So happy you had a minute to stop by and enjoy, you are so sweet. Thank you Marie!
Your card is absolutely beautiful. I love the color you used. So worth the effort. Thanks for sharing
Very effective use of the die. Plus great color choice.
Beautiful inlay. That would take me forever, but the result . . .
Such a lovely card!! I do so enjoy your videos. You make it a bit less intimidating to try!
Wonderful card… now I want to buy the ‘For You’ die!
Gorgeous!
I love your card, and the Whimsical Garden die set!
A lovely card. Love the colors.
Such a beautiful card. I haven’t used these colours together before but am going to give them a go now.
I have to tell you that your card is a home run with me. I was NOT a fan of this die cut set until I saw your card using it. It’s just exquisite!
Gorgeous cards. Love the colors!
I really enjoy the inlayed cards even though it can take some time to make them. The process is so calming, and this is really pretty. Thank you for the reminder!
Stunning and so elegant
I love these beautiful colours Therese! It certainly was worth the time it took to colour each piece!! Love it! Thanks for the great inspiration! Stay safe! 🙂
This is such a pretty card, all the effort was it worth it! I’m sure you had fun along the way putting in the inlays like a puzzle piece although it can get tiring, the end result is so so pretty!
Oh my goodness, you colored the whole card front! I need some of your patience and skills 😅
Such a beautiful card. My favorite so far in the hop!!
Simply lovely, Therese … gorgeous colours, beautifully pieced together! You have the patience of a saint … and it was so worth all the time it took! Hugs, Anita 🙂
