I love the elegant effect that this rectangular doily set of dies gives to my card. In my mind I can imagine them as snowflakes. It is actually a set of 3 dies, but I've left them attached to cut them and this is the result. I was afraid that my black ink would smear on the gold foil paper, so I quickly heat embossed it with clear powder to avoid that problem. This set of poinsettia dies cuts and also embosses some detail into the petals; I used 3 of the smallest sizes.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend. I'm listening to some wonderful music on PBS tonight!
