This is for this week's Inspiration Challenge. There was an awful lot to look at on the Restoration Hardware site with many possibilities, but I settled on these pictures frames. I really wanted to try my new Spellbinders dies and this inspiration piece lent itself well for that.
I struggled some with the intricacy of these dies; I guess it takes some getting used to, trying to get all of the patterns cut and remove all of the little pieces of paper. TFL!

Sometimes just one extra sheet of cardstock in the sandwich helps get a cleaner cut through the detailed die cuts (at least for me) ... looks like you did a magnificent job to me ... so very elegant ... I particularly love the blooms ... stunning inspired card.
Whatever the struggle, the result is AWESOME. Love the intricate dies and your rolled flowers.
I had good luck when I put a piece of waxed paper between the die and the cardstock. And you don't have to do it every time, because a little of the wax seems to remain of the die.
