Kind Creations: Die Cutting for Holiday Cards

I'm taking the Holiday Card Workshop from Online Card Classes and Jennifer McGuire did something that just blew me away today. I watched her video while I was a lunch at work today, and I just couldn't wait to get home to try this technique.

Jennifer called this technique layered die-cut inlay and her cards were amazing. However, I didn't have dies that I could layer, so I made do with what I had. She used wood paper, and of course I didn't have that either. So I went to Michael's on my way home and just bought some wood grain pattern paper. I cased a card she did to create this card. The word, trees, houses, and clouds were all colored with copics, then I added shimmer with a Wink of Stella brush. There was a spot that was bare, so I stamped the word "merry" in red. I don't think I inked it up enough! This really looks so much better in person. I had fun doing this technique and creating this card
