Playing along with Virginia's View Challenge

I have been a fan of the fabulous Virginia Lu for pretty much forever!  When I started making cards, Virginia was one of the first bloggers to catch my interest.  She stood out for her cards (which are awesome), but also for her encouraging words and positive attitude.  If there was such thing as a card ambassador, Virginia would be it!  So, of course, when she asked me if I would play along with her Virginia's View Challenge, it was a no brainer.  And even better, it's a die cutting challenge!  Woohoo!

For my card, I revisited the card of mine that Virginia featured in the challenge pic (see the  layered pink and blue flower medallion card in the top left corner?).  That card has 7 different layers.  Well, today's die cut card has one layer with 7 different die cuts!   I'm sure you've seen/done the inlaid die cut technique before.  This is the same thing X 7:)  

Supplies: PTI Stripes - Horizontal Cover Plate, Lovely Layers dies, W Plus 9 Fresh Cut Wreaths stamps

The first two cuts are for the background stripes in pink and white.  The one by one, I die cut the medallion starting with the largest purple piece.  In order, I did purple, gold, blue, strawberry pink, and light pink.  Here's a side look of the card that really shows the inlaid look!

So get on over to the challenge and join in the fun!  It runs until the 18th and they are even giving away some pretty awesome prizes:)  

Thanks Virginia for letting me play along!  You're the best!

Mahalo and Aloha,

jj
