Punched Roses And Inches 2.0 (5-petal punch)

Hello Bloggers,

Punched Roses.Remember my INCHES black card? I made it for a challenge quite a while ago, but it kept haunting me from its box. I just could not live happily ever after, I needed to add more stuff to the card. :)

Eventually, I did, and the card turned into a Birthday card..

Still recognizable? :)

I added a strip of paper lace on the left, a sentiment, a couple of butterflies... They made me a lot happier about this card. :)

The lace strip was a little tricky, because normally the Joy!Crafts Vintage Doily Border Die 6002/0366 produces a strip with one lacy edge. Luckily I have an A4 machine and some extra A5 plates for it. They allow you to position the paper and the die in such a way, that the edge opposite to the lace remains uncut, and you can use the die again on the other side of the strip now to shape the sitting edge as lace.

I added a turquoise slightly off-set layer under the white lace to give it a little bit of a dimension. This under layer was cut with the same die but in a regular way as the stitch in the middle is hidden behind the white anyway.

The tiny roses are punched: 4 layers - 2 with petals looking upwards, 2 with petals looking downwards.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is Crafters Companion Die'sire Only Words Classiques Collection - Happy Birthday DS-C-HAPPY. Now... what can I say... I may not be buying more Die'sire dies any time soon. I like their embossing folders, but the dies... I have the Happy Birthday and the Season's Greetings ones. Unhappy about both. Not extremely, but rather unhappy anyway. The cut out sentiments are not clearly readable, the cut edges are fringy. Probably, if you ink through the dies it will improve the readability, but inking creates a white edge so typical of very old dies. Lame.
