I started with a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 base of Basic Black. I stamped the rose on SU White Shimmer Paper and embossed with white ep. I used a lot of water and Melon Mambo re-inker. I love that technique. Cut my circle and corners in Mambo. Used ef for the corners. Cut out a rose leaf from a SB die. Popped the rose.
This is for the TSC challenge. Kathy/Airborne101 gave the challenge to use black and one other color and a large circle. I love black and pink together plus the last few cards I've made have been blue. I do that a lot,get on a roll with one color. If you would like to join us put TSC0203 in the Keywords so we all see your card.
Thanks for looking.

Lovely rose Sistah! So soft and pretty, and lots of pop too! Love those leaves in pink (sorry Sweet Tater). Delish! Hugs....

OUCH!!!!!! Ahhhh, that's better. I found my anti P I N K goggles. Well now, this here's a beauty but you and Twisted Sister Les need some anti P I N K lessons. Gotta give a girl a warning or something!!!! Real beautiful though, seriously.
