Now that we all know the definition of a rosette, I wanted to share my second attempt at making the lovely embellishment.  I've seen many great cards adorned with these fabulous rosettes and I've read all about Tim Holtz's amazing new die so, I decided to make them myself as I don't own the die.....yet!  There are some really great tutorials on YouTube should you want to try your hand at making one.  I was actually quite surprised how easy it was to make.  Over the years I have made similar things using the same sort of idea only I didn't use cardstock, I used money - paper money.  I'm sure several of you out there know what I'm talking about.  You add them to gifts, cards etc. presenting money a little differently than just flat, in a card, which by the way isn't so bad either.  Let's be honest here ....if anyone wants to give me money.....I wouldn't care if it's flat, folded or even bent, would you?  Ya, didn't think so!

Anyways.....on to the card,
