This is my card for this week's IC480 challenge. Audrie took us to the Crystal Gayle Photography site for our inspiration. Fabulous site and I looked in every category at her lovely work.
For my inspiration I chose this single pink rose card. I focused on the single flower and the pretty pink color for my card. This one will go to my good friend who has a birthday today.
For my background, I used the embossing folder stamping technique. Audrie did a tutorial for this technique- here is a link..
I used the wavy hearts ef from Darice and inked it with picked raspberry and spun sugar distress paints and then sprayed it with gold glimmer mist. I really like the way the background turned out.
My flower is from the PTI set "cutting garden". Stamped in picked raspberry ink and cut with the matching die.
The sentiment is from the same set and was stamped in choc chip ink. To complete my card, I added a few die cut sequins and some ribbon.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
