Well I think the title of this post says it all :-) This week we were to focus on punches or dies... And if you know me a little, you knew which way I would go!
Right! The die, and specifically the new LATTICE die of course, because it's my favorite!
Before I show you my card, I have to tell you that my layers really are NOT crooked, I promise! I think it's the angle I took the picture last night. AND I was not sitting in my office chair but only a little folding chair which is much lower (I let Sandra use the office chair in class *grin*). So please be kind when you critique the "not so straight" layers...

And then I thought I should share a close-up with you:
To achieve this aged look of the die cut, I've simply sponged on some gold Encore ink... Voila!
Very simple but elegant... I hope you like it...
Have a great Friday!
