Inlaid dies

I have been fascinated by die-cutting from the first time I saw it demonstrated in a Paper Mill shop many years ago. I love the finish the cut gives and love to discover new ways of using dies. Inlaying them was a technique I found quite some time ago and is great for keeping cards fairly flat for posting!
This fab Memory Box tree was cut from smooshed card and then the trunk was inked with some Distress ink after  cutting. The  base panel was cut with an MFT square stitched die and extended by part-cutting from each end to make a rectangle,
The sentiment is from Hero Arts cut with a Framelit extended rectangle.
