Hi all. I decided it was about time to use some of my much neglected papers, and I got out an Altenew Layered Roses Die set which I got free with a magazine many years ago and which I am sure I have never used..tut! tut! I also used a new corner die which I got in the Black Friday sale and this is its first outing and is called Bamboo Corner Trellis, a Paper Discovery die set. There is a bamboo die, but this is the second in the set which has a more generic trellis look. You can cut both designs out as well as just cutting them into the card, and there are a couple of sentiments too.
I got out a couple of sets of papers, the first a Craft Consortium pad called Grunge Light and an old one by Chocolate Baroque which I used for just the orange coloured rose, and I was able to cut the pieces for the purple and pink flowers and the leaves from the Craft Consortium pad as there are lots of sheets where there are a good variety of colours and tones. I decided to also cut a white base layer to make the flowers and leaves sturdier. I also cut a piece of blue from the Craft Consortium pack to go behind the trellis.
I cut a piece of white card to about 5.75", just slightly wider than the trellis die and cut that adding the blue paper behind it, and I then put all the pieces together and added the flowers and leaves over the trellis. I did add a piece of foam to the back of the first yellow/orange flower but decided not to do the same to the other two as I could see that it would make them rather thickly layered for posting. I finished by die cutting the sentiment from a piece of gold glitter card which was a label which came on a parcel and which I thought was too pretty to waste. I had already cut a butterfly from it, used on this card here, and I just managed to cut the sentiment from the rest.
Thank you for dropping by today and I'll see you again soon.

This is so pretty Pat, love that you used the patterned papers for the roses and background, the "shading" is gorgeous. Love the layout too against the delicate trellis - that was a great find in the sales, Cathy x
Hi Pat, what beautiful flowers you have made with this beautiful die, the corner die is also beautiful. The colors behind the flowers are also very beautiful and make the flowers expressive...I love them!

A really lovely card and a great description of how it was made using the pretty papers and the trellis die. You aren't the only one who has magazine freebies stashed away and unused - I too am guilty of that and have a box containing quite a number of them, what are we like?? Must take a look to remind myself what's in the box 😉
A very pretty floral card, thanks for sharing at Allsorts this week.

Thank you for joining dies week with this innovative creation, Pat! I am intrigued by how you used pp in such a clever way ... it's genius! I'm pinning this for I.D.E.A.S. and because I need inspiration for those corner dies I have! Thank you, too, for encouraging everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

Very pretty. Love the corner die you used to frame those gorgeous roses with. Thanks for sharing this over at The Flower Challenge.
You found the perfect designer papers for your gorgeous roses, with so much dimension of color in the layering, they look amazing! Creating the die cut trellis corner to ground the roses makes such a lovely CAS design for your square card. Thank you so much for joining us at The Flower Challenge!
Those lovely roses look wonderful against the white and pretty trellis corner.
Beautiful combination and a lovely card, Pat!

This is such a pretty card, Pat! I love that each rose is a different color and the background is gorgeous too. Thanks for taking the time to play along at Seize the Birthday!
