Red Rose

I had been eyeing off the new Stampin' Up Rose Garden die set for a while and finally relented, got it yesterday and straight away made a card for Scrapbook Boutique and Double D challenges.  I used the inlay method, very fiddly but worth it, a good thing the die is quite large and the bits not so tiny : )
