Use Spellbinders Tool 'n One for easy paper removal from the Die.

Adhere tape to the front of one of the Elegant Ovals.  Layer the second Die into the first Die diagonally, forming a square base (as shown in the photo below).  Adhere this to the front of the black card base, using SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ E-Z Runner.

Cut/emboss one (1) Rounded Squares #3 in white card.  Before removing the card stock, use the Die as a Stencil and sponge inside the Die using Delicata™ Pigment Ink in Silvery Shimmer and a
