I make so many cards that I give away to customers, team and family, I quite often forget to actually send one to some one I know (or even to someone I haven't met in person) for no other reason then "just because".
Sending a card to say "I am thinking of you", "you are awesome", or just "surprise! I hope this brightens your day", is what this weeks theme at
Global Design Project is all about - R.A.K - otherwise known as "Random Act of Kindness".
I wanted to come up with something quite special for the person that will eventually get this card. She has been a tremendous help to me, even though we have never actually met in person. She lives on the other side of the world and I just want her to know how much I appreciate her.
The sentiment inside tells her why she is getting this card, so I really didn't need to put anything on the outside, which meant the artwork had to be a real "wow"! This is called inlaid embossing. It took me hours to complete, but I love the paint-by-numbers look to it, and it was sooooo worth the effort!
I really need to start doing more video's, don't I? I do have three done, but I am only just starting out. You can see them
Here. The technique I used on this card deserves a video of it's own. I need to put that on my list of things to do!
Edited to add: Thanks to Donna Scholz for pointing out that this technique is actually Inlaid Die Cuts. I sometimes trip over the english language, even though it is my first language, lol. Thank you again Donna - you are right!
