Vintage birdcage

I love the Tim Holtz birdcage die and was so excited to discover I could use it in my cuttlebug (just with 2 B plates).  Here's what I came up with:


 The rolled roses were made using a free svg file which you can find here.  Just be careful when re-sizing the flower - you sometimes get an extra line across it which means it won't cut properly.

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white cardstock, SU bella rose designer series paper, white tissue paper
Ink - PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - Tim Holtz alterations die caged bird, Martha Stewart doily lace trim deep edge punch, Quickutz metal sheet, Kaisercraft black rhinestone, SU riding hood red taffeta ribbon, clear acrylic beads, Tim Holtz idea-ology charm clips
