inlaid dies {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Hi, and welcome back to another day of lawn fawn's inspiration week!  Today we are breathing new life into older sets with companion dies!  I am so excited to now have lawn cuts for gnome sweet gnome, sunny skies, and admit one.

I took advantage of the dies to create a little gnomie ensemble for you:



A little card & gift set, using the gnome and mushroom house dies.

Here, the mushroom house was blurry in that last picture :)  Both feature a little stamped background of adorably happy mushrooms.



But my absolute fave element of this project is the way the speech bubble is fitted into the gnome - a perfect inlaid design.  I think flattening your images is huge in paper-crafting lately - I see more use of negative space and placing die-cuts back into their cut-outs than anything else.  The look is very clean - and I love that!

Here's a little how-to (and ignore the fact that the coloring on the examples isn't very good, ok?):

Think of the possibilities!  All the things your lawn fawn critters could say, or how they could cozy up to each other - hee hee.

I hope you like what I've created today!  Click over to the lawn fawn blog to see what the rest of the team has dreamed up - I'm always inspired by them!
