Phoenix From The Ashes

This die is gorgeous. No doubt about that. The die is approximately 8 x 4-1/4 inches, so it's Big. Because the die is so large, I had difficulty with it cutting all the way through in the center. Added a cardboard shim (like a piece of cereal box) to make a deeper cut. Problem solved.

Colored the Phoenix with Pentel Dual Color pens. Which definitely adds a lot of sparkle. Adhering to a black background brings out all the colors.

Sparkling Peacock

This is an unbranded die from AliExpress. After coloring with Copics and blending PrismaColor pencil out with odorless mineral spirits, I coated it with VersaMark Watermark, sprinkled with Stampendous Kaleidoscope Transparent embossing powder and heat set. After attaching the die to the background die (also unbranded), I finished it off by adding Stickles glitter glue in the open spaces of the peacock die. Unfortunately the picture doesn't show the beautiful iridescence of the  embossing power.
