I had something else in mind when I chose the neat pen, but soon realized it was going to take way too much time to make each diamond individually framed with the gold. So I chose to cut the foil frame, insert the shimmer diamonds and call it good. Here's the pen that inspired me. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111652063036/

Sue, you nailed this one! Love the diamond lattice that you embedded with the precious gemstone colors of diamonds, rubies and sapphires within it. Lovely effect for your Christmas card.

Love how the gold just makes those diamonds pop. This was a fun challenge, wasn't it! I think it will have inspired some elegant CAS cards. I look forward to browsing the gallery. Love how yours turned out.
