Now here is my Card

using Altenew Crocus Layering Die Set 

and Altenew Gilded Marble Press Plate/Foil Plate.

Techniques I used:

• Die-cut white cardstock using the Altenew Crocus Layering Die Set.
• Ink Blend the die-cuts using the Altenew Mediterranean Glow, Altenew Rose Petal, Altenew Sun-Kissed Delights Fresh Dye Ink.
• Die-cut black cardstock with coordinating the Altenew Crocus Layering Sentiment Die.
• Foiled the Altenew Gilded Marble Press Plate/Foil Plate using Altenew Rose Gold Hot Foil.

To finish I added some sequins.

Bonus Video!

I recently bought a Spellbinders Betterpress Letterpress System and fall in love with the Press Plates.  Altenew has a range of beautiful Press Plates available.  I also like the fact you can stretch the use of your Press Plates and foil with it.
