March Betterpress Society was a full background plate and coordinating die called Sweet Life Floral.
I created a couple of cards after creating paper pieced striped backgrounds. I was going for a bit of a retro feel, and did one in warm colours, one in cool colours.
This one was pressed with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink, trimmed down just a little, then mounted on some brushed silver cardstock. One of the sentiments that comes with the set was pressed in silver metallic ink, then cut apart and also mounted on the silver cardstock.
My warm toned card was pressed with Antique Linen - it barely showed up, so I almost pressed it a second time with a warmer brown, but the subtle look really grew on me, so I left it as is and added my sentiment pressed on cream cardstock. A few jewels were added to each card for a little glimmer.
