This month's Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge is 'Use Some Orange' and we are sponsored by Freshly Brewed Designs. For my card I've made an inlaid die-cut Christmas tree (one of my favourite techniques at the moment) but I have found it hard to photograph the mirri card.
I'm entering Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 'Winter/Christmas', Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 'Anything Goes' and Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra where 'Anything Goes as long as it's Christmas'.
Card blank: 6" x 4" white silk
Die: Memory Box 'Sparkling Tile Tree'
Snippets: Orange mirri and white silk card
I die-cut the tree from the white card and backed it with double sided tape. I then die-cut the tree from several tiny snippets of orange mirri card and inserted these into the white tree. This panel was then trimmed, layered onto a slightly larger piece of orange mirri and attached to the card front.

Great work Kath. I have real trouble with this technique. I love your miri tree and I think it's photographed really well. Barbxx
That is a lovely tree and the orange mirri card inlaid and used as a matted layer is just perfect Kath. x
