A failed card for Lydia's MIX challenge today, since I didn't re-read the instructions after morning coffee, let alone work. So...I'll work away at hers and upload this anyway. At least it got some scraps out of my "spare backgrounds" box .
5 3/4" base. Next layer trimmed slightly, embossed with a square frame and scored after adding the squares.
SNSS Flower Block coloured with pencils, finished off with Stickles and Enamel Accents.
I added more Enamel Accents on the main white layer.
The other squares: coloured crayons on white card which was then embossed and painted with white acrylic paint, and sanded when the paint was dry to let the colour show.

It's beautiful! I love the embossing on the white and those rad backgrounds!

Love the way you did the squares! It might not have met the instructions for the Mixability challenge, but it's a fabulous card! Thanks for explaining how you did the two smaller squares - I must try that!
