Here is my card for todays WT175 challenge.
I canÂ’t remember what this technique is called but the image is stamped with Versamark on vellum, heat embossed with white EP, turned over on an embossing mat and the lines carefully traced with a stylus to dry emboss it. Then the image is colored on the reverse side and cut out. The flower center is crushed candies. (Yikes what a mess) The small flowers are stamped and heat embossed and colored on the reverse side, but not dry embossed like the big flower. Two of the background layers have been run through the Cuttlebug. If anyone knows the name of this technique would you please let me know so I can add it here.

Leave it to you to think of using crushed candy! What a fantastic and detailed card you made today, girl! It's strikingly beautiful even if you had to result to crushed candy for that gorgeous pink center!
