Seize the Birthday - Inlaid die cut

Hey all, I am up with my final post with Seize the Birthday as my Guest Designer, I want to thank the STB team for extending their invitation to me to join as a Guest Designer for January and February. I had fun creating my cards for these 2 months!

The toppings for this challenge is inlaid die cut, you are free to join in with the Anything Goes theme as well.

 

For my card today, I was inspired by the picture I clicked during my recent trip to Japan. The colors of the sea was magnificent, and I was really hooked by it. I love the Ombre shades of the water, and didn't had to look further for inspiration for my card.

Here is the picture of the water I clicked on last Friday.

 

For my card, I used winnie&walter  stencil, cutaway die and stamp. The inks are 3 shades from Stampin Up, and one shade of distress ink.

I started with masking the front, and then added the stencil on top.

 Just sponged the inks in an Ombre shade, starting from the dark on top to the lightest on the bottom. I love the perfect gradient look of the stencil.

 I then used the die to cut out the middle section, and used another left over water color panel die cut to add the inlaid, also adding the front to a white base. Stamped the birthday under the inlaid die. A few matching sequins to finish off. Hope you all like it.
