Roses of Friendship Card with Jenny Alia

Hello friends, it's Jenny here today with a card inspired by this week's Roses challenge.  I cut and and assembled the Medium Tea Roses and then actually created everything else from there.  I love the ombre cards I've seen and decided to incorporate some of that into my card using the Ankara Lace Border die and stacking each different yellow layer.

I cut the blue background layer once with the Curved Border die and then cut the patterned paper three times to get the fancy edge and the dot pattern.  The stack of Ankara Lace Borders was glued to the card and then I cut the edge off the Ankara Doily and tucked it under the edge of the stacked borders.  The sentiment layer was cut using the new Pierced Stacker #4 and adhered with foam tape.

I colored the the roses to match the other colors in the card using distress ink and a foam dauber.  I added some white Olive Branches and blue Add a Flourish flourishes to the floral spray and finished by adding the two butterflies from the Small Exotic Butterflies die.
