I have no idea what this technique is called but I cut the cheerylyndesigns mega holly out of white card and green card and inserted the green into the hole in the white so it's flush and flat....matted it onto red card and onto a white card base......a ribbon and a few holly berries...I just cant help myself can I......and an embossed greeting using a Hobby Art stamp......so I hope this will be okay for the challenge...it was fun trying something new!
and this is the one I made from the waste.....
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else creates.....will be popping round all your blogs later...have a fun Sunday

Hi, both cards look fabulous and CAS. This is a great technique - think I will give it a go too.

Wow! How stunning. Such visual impact. Hugs Mrs A. (ValeryAnne).
Margaret, I LOVE this look. I'm not sure what it's called either (I've seen inlay & embedding as terms used). It surely turned out gorgeous and you did a super job with the tricky bits, which can sometimes be a bit of a pain trying to insert well. I had a change of plan on my intended card, as once I had it ready to assemble, I was afraid it might not fit the CAS bill of fare. At 2:30 am, I was hunting through dies and came up with one, and revamped! I think a lot of us in CCC had holly on the brain, yes??? But I love holly so no problems with that! This is one gorgeous card. Hope your New Year was wonderful, and looking forward to a great CCC year. TFS & Hugs
Two fabulous CAS cards Margaret, love the technique too. So glad you joined me in this first challenge of 2015. Carol x
Lovely cards. I finally managed to put the names of the Christmas card club down my left side bar. Copied the names off today's post. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes.
They look wonderful! I think you captured the essence of clean and simple so well!
Beautiful, so beautiful! Love them both Margaret and they are perfectly CAS too. You always knock me socks off with how elegant your creations are xx
Ok both cards are just great and I don't think it is over-decorated. Love that you used the green part that was cut out for the 2nd card-just stunning
Fabulous cards - they're both lovely, but the green one made from the waste is my favourite!
