24Pc. Wink Of Stella Set! &.Sizzix Diamond Cluster Die gets a work out on my craft desk!

The newest most favorite of my background dies is the (sold only in UK) Sizzix Diamond Cluster Die.   It makes such an amazing effect on the cards I made these past few days.  I used the die cut part as well as the parts that were to be tossed away.  This is a die that requires that you back the paper with some Sookwang Tape.  I own tons of this stuff.  I have widths of this tape from 1/8" all the way up to 6" in my craft room.  My favorite size of this tape is probably the 2" version for the simple fact that it is so versatile.


Most thinlit dies won't cut all the way through the backing paper on the Sookwang Tape, but that is fine with me.  I used some additional tape to adhere the innards of this die cut onto another card front for another fun look.  See the black card below.  I also used some new Unbranded Phrases die set that have many nice sayings on them.  These are found on AliExpress.com.

For some finishing touches, I used some Distress Oxide Inks on Canson watercolor paper 140# Cold Press.  I also used the Stampin Up! stamp set called Watercolor Words.  Then, I went into my sprayed flower stash and found three that have the same colors used elsewhere on card front.  I also had to make a couple of sprigs of leaves that I cut from the Rose Garden Thinlit Dies also from SUp.  

  The roses were colored a bit further to match better using my Big 24 Pack Set of Wink Of Stella Pens.   I'm in sparkle heaven!  I am so impressed by the stunning nature of these pens! 

Here is a close up of the card below.
