I made this card for Heartfelt Creations using the Sweet Serenity collection. I wanted to showcase the die and the different ways to use it. For this card, I adhered a piece of tin foil to scrap cardstock and ran the die through my cuttlebug impressing the image instead of cutting. I then rubbed my DH's black shoe polish over the embossed piece. I had seen this technique on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try.
You can see a close-up pic and two other ways I used the die in this BLOG POST if you're interested. TFL!
EDITED: Although I made this earlier, I am adding it to the MIX9 gallery because it is a perfect fit.

A lovely card! A neat idea to use shoe polish! I looked at your blog and enjoyed seeing the other ways you used this die - Cool! I like the metallic tips on the petals of the rose too.
