Rose Wall

The sketch challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches threw me for a bit.  I normally don't make cards with angles other than right angles, so this bold sketch with a diagonal made me want to run for the hills LOL.  However, I slept on it and came up with the idea to disguise the diagonal a bit which appealed to the right-angled part of my brain!

I'm also entering this card into the challenge at SUO Challenges which is to use something new.  This is the first time I've used my Honeycomb Embossing Folder.

Here's my card:

I didn't stick totally faithfully to the sketch but I did stick to the concept.  I cut pieces of cardstock in varying lengths and then run them through my new honeycomb embossing folder.  I then disguised the diagonal look with lots and lots of punched branches from the bird punch.  Three rolled roses made using the 1 3/8" circle punch were placed in conjunction with the sketch.  If I made this card again (and let's be honest, I most likely won't!) I would like to see a row of cascading roses rather than just three.

Thanks for looking.
