The May Betterpress Society plate is called "Mosaic Path". It's a pretty all-over mosaic like pattern, that comes with two sentiments and dies, plus an optional stencil.
I decided to make a Stacked Die Cut Card, first pressing the plate in Betterpress Black ink on regular white cardstock. I picked a blue/green palette of colours from my Pinkfresh Studio inks, and used three of the five stencils to create my pattern (I liked the white space that was left).
I created a frame by taping together two sizes of the Essential Arches dies from Spellbinders, cutting it out of my stencilled panel, and then cutting four more from black cardstock. I stacked the black frames, and glued the patterned one on top. After adhering the outer patterned panel to my card base, I added the stacked die cut frame, and then the center piece - creating a subtly raised frame in the middle of my card.
To finish, I pulled out the 'You' Say it With Stamps word die and phrases from Photoplay - and added the word die with foam adhesive to my card. The 'are my favorite human' phrase is my favourite - and I thought it made a cute addition to the card. A few black gems finished it off. You can get a Betterpress Society subscription from The Crafter's Workshop.
