This is another card I just finished yesterday using a technique that I found on Split Coast Stampers called embedded embossing. I found this in the Challenges Forum under F4A59 from 4/8/11...took me a while to get to this one!
Basically, to do the technique you glue die cuts, punch outs, etc. to paper and then emboss it. My colors are a little blah, it would be nicer with colors that are more vivid for a contrast. Also the paper flowers once flatten out kind of loose their shape, but it was still a fun technique to do.
The frames and leaves were actually leftovers from other projects I did and saved in my organized stash!
Supplies I used:
Paper: old olive (SU), vintage rose 8x8 scrapbook kit (Colobok), palo verde (Bazzills)
Misc: felt bird sticker (Puffies - KIMemories), glitter paint writer, paper flowers, 1/4" punch, branch with leaves die (Sizzix), pearl stickers, large labels die (Spellb.), stylus, square lattice embossing folder (SU)
I actually didn't do any stamping on this one! Thanks for looking!
Blessings!

This is so cute, and I think your colors are just perfect, and, Of course, I love the PINK bird! I also commented on this card at SCS, it just popped in the SCS gallery.
