Here is my card for the challenge this week, I used a wood heart button.




I used the Sweet William Singles Set for my flowers.  I stamped the flowers on the Gold Cardstock, 5 small and 1 medium.  I fussy cut mine, but these coordinate with Spellbinder's Blossom 3 Dies if you have them or want to purchase them.  I used the embedded embossing technique on this where you glue the pieces on the paper and them dry emboss it.  The Fanciful Flourish and 3 of the small flowers were glued to the white cardstock and embossed.  I then added the remaining flowers on top of them.  It's a fun technique to try out!

Here is a picture of the set I used:
