One Go: Solid Circular Sentiments Press Plate Card

One of the products in Altenew's August 2026 release is a cleverly designed press plate and coordinating die set that creates 10 different sentiments all at once. I had fun inking up the press plate with 2 different colors for this card: Obsidian Pigment Ink and Volcano Lake dye ink (both from Altenew). After running the press plate through my BetterPress with both colors, I die cut the sentiments using the coordinating die that die cuts all 10 sentiments at once. 

After I had all my sentiments die cut, I used the die to die cut a piece of white cardstock I had trimmed to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches. I set aside the die cuts and used the negative for a frame. I adhered the frame to a black A2 card base. Then I die cut a few more sets of circles with the die so that I could stack the sentiments on a few layers to pop them up a bit from the white frame. I alternated the Volcano Lake sentiments with the Obsidian sentiments and then added some of Altenew's Black Onyx Gem Sparkles to finish the card.
