I love this technique and it's been a long time since I've done it. I also combined it w/ yesterday's FS challenge, Kokirose. Patricia has such a wonderful gallery and I've been an admirer of hers for quite a while. I chose her Silhouetted Flowers to case. I changed the stamps and started out w/ blue instead of white c/s. I also did the faux embossing instead of the straight silhouette w/ highlighting. I kept her general layout and color scheme.
The images were stamped first w/ the white chalk ink, then positioned and stamped again, slightly off, w/ the cobalt ink. I also sponged a little around the edges w/ the cobalt ink. I stamped a separate corner and flower onto the night of navy and cut these out and attached in the upper right corner.
The sentiment was done the same way, layered a couple of times and attached w/ foam tape. Rhinestones were added in the lower left and upper right corners. Dots were done w/ a white gel pen. The top image layer is attached to a white layer then to the navy layer using foam tape. TFL

Julie your card is gorgeous. The stamp you used works perfectly with the technique challenge. I love your colour choice and the cut out flower section in the upper right corner, bling and dots.
Thank you for your sweet words and taking the time to case one of my cards.
Warm hugs
