I started by ink blending a piece of bristol smooth card stock, cut down into an A2 sized panel. I used distress oxide ink: Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, and Spiced Marmalade. Once my blending was complete and dry I used my spellbinders platinum machine and cut the panel using this gorgeous die. I decided I wanted to use the outer panel, the negative of this die to create more of a 3-d look. I glued this down onto an A2 sized black piece of card stock. With the color blending I completed, I only die cut the stained glass die one time. I loved the look and felt it had a 3-d look to it with the colors. I set the panel aside to dry. I then cut a circle out of white card stock using the circle foundation dies. I then stamped the Hello Beautiful from the Super Sentimental stamp set onto a piece of vellum. I love this set, its going to be a new favorite of mine! I used clear embossing ink from Brutus Monroe with Raven embossing powder. I then die cut the vellum using the circle foundation dies and adhered this to my white circle. I then foam mounted the circle in the center of my stained glass panel.

I then used some iridescent sequins from my stash. I added sequins to the die cut panel in various locations, and I also created a circle of sequins around the center of the sentiment. I wanted to highlight the sentiment on my card! I had so much fun creating this card and using this die! It is truly a beautiful die! The possibilities are endless and I can’t wait to see what you create!
