Whimsy Inspiration and Paper Pretties Challenges

The challenge this week at Whimsy Inspirations is to use punches and/or diecuts, and at Paper Pretties the theme is "For the Girls." I made this card with an embossing folder that also cuts and a beautiful diecut set all from Marianne Designs. I started with the embossing and cutting folder in white, rounded the edges, layered on red paper and added pearls in the corners. I cut out the rose basket in gold, the roses in red and the leaves in green. I added some pine needles punched in white and green (Martha Stewart) and a pearl flourish to complete this card. Love how it turned out:)
