Rock n Roll Flower

Here's a birthday card I sent to my roomie from convention.  I love the colors on this one, and the Rock and Roll technique on the flower.  Sponging makes a nice antique look too.

I wanted some sparkle so I used some pearls and sprayed it with a shimmer.  Unfortunately the shimmer does not show so well in the photos.  
If you want to add a shimmer to any card, put in 5-7 drops of Illuminate refill ink and fill with 70% alcohol.  Shake well and spray your surface.  Want more shimmer, then add more of the refill, you can also add 1-2 drops of a color to give your shimmer a tint.  

Rock n Roll Technique:  stamp the lighter color first, then roll the edges of the stamp in the darker color.

For the background I used the En Francais stamp with Crumb Cake, first I stamped off the ink for a lighter image, then lightly stamped on the card stock.  Sponge all around the outside with Crumb Cake and then stamp images on top of this background.
