Before returning this die to its owner, I decided I wanted to make one more card with it. I had all the pieces for the JOLLY inlays left over from my first card, so I just dug out some small leftover pieces from the trash can and die cut the holly leaves, berries and miscellaneous inlays.
My original thought was to do the die cut in white shimmer card stock over Bazzill Diamond Bling panel. However, when I did that, it just didn't pop enough for me, even when I added a 2nd layer. I had a sheet of this soft gold shimmer card stock in my stash, so die cut another layer in this color and added to what I already had - PERFECT!
Cut my focal panel down just a bit so allow room for a thin gold frame, along with the wider black frame.
While a 5x7 card looks HUGE to this A2/4.25 square girl, it really is a great size for this beautiful sentiment die. I'm really pleased with how it came out.

Yay! I'm so glad you were able to get another card in with this die as it's absolutely stunning! I love the way the gold paper looks over your white background! The touches of festive colors really shows nicely on this one! So happy that you've joined in the fun with my DTGD challenge!
