I die cut my new die (free gift with an older Die-cutting Essentials magazine that I ordered from the UK earlier this month) from a panel of hammered white cardstock (Crafters Companion). I then blended some DOIs (wild honey and faded jeans) onto my cardbase, spritzed with water and blotted with kitchen towel. After trimming my panel, I stamped the sentiment (Decorative ornaments, Simon Says Stamp) and adhered the panel to my cardbase.
I'm linking up my card at:

That's a fabulous freebie die Marianne and you have made a real beauty with it, the graduated background looks lovely behind the Three Kings.
