I really liked Yana's latest release, in particular her Floral Celebration bundle, a Press Plate and a set of stencils to color it.
I don't yet own a BetterPress system, so I thought I'd get this plate and use it with glimmer hot foils just to try it, and I was thrilled with the results! Here are 3 samples using it with its matching stencils, each with a different color of glimmer foil.
After foiling and coloring the panel, I sliced it about 2/3 of the way down, then lined the bottom and top of the resulting panels in a metallic champagne strip and adhered them to my card base to frame the sentiment die, cut from the same champagne metallic.
Next I foiled my panel using Cobalt Blue glimmer foil and colored it in cool colors, then just added a die-cut sentiment.
And finally, some soft pastel colors with Black glimmer foil, which is matte, and adding some interest with flower dies.

After foiling and coloring this panel, I sliced it into 4 pieces and placed them onto a banana backing, then added some flowers and leaves to reflect the ink colors I used, and my sentiment. This one may be my favorite.
I used Hammermill premium color copy cover white for all my starting points, and each of these foils came out perfectly, no overfoiling, no underfoiling! I take that as my okay to try more of these beautifully detailed press plates!
