I hope I worked this out right - it seemed to me that faux letterpress was the opposite of the negative effect and we're meant to end up with a debossed image? Anyway, that's what I went with after looking carefully at Gina's tutorial where she inked the raised part on the back of the folder.
A2 Bazzill base. I used the Provocraft Stylized Flowers folder and some green and yellow ink. After trimming it to size I stitched the edges with green and blue.
Butterfly was part of a lovely RAK from One4Joy.
Sentiment is ODBD stamped with Versafine Olympia Green and cut with Labels 18. I cut a larger label for layering, and stamped it with a Hero Arts flower in yellow and Pocket Silhouettes in green. All layers popped up on foam dots.

The technique looks great either embossed or debossed, but you're right she definitely did the debossed look on her tutorial. Love the soft look you got here and the butterfly is so pretty/

Sabrina this is stunning! I had to watch the video twice to understand what Gina was doing - I thought it was going to come out backwards!! Love your card!
