To start this card I picked out the patterned papers I wanted to use from the New Retro Paper Pack.  I then used the large postage stamp die from the Framework Die Set to cut the patterned paper with the black background.  Next, I used the second largest die in the Essential Tags Die Set to cut the patterned paper with the white background and a piece of yellow cardstock as well.  

I stamped this super cute pup image from the Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set.  I colored him with copic markers and cut him out using the coordinating die set

Next, I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set, directly onto the image of the cassette tape.

I assembled my card using a yellow cardbase and popped up the image with foam tape for some dimension!  I added a multi-color twine bow to the tags.
