It's hard to see in the scan but the stamped petal rectangle is covered with "Diamond Dust" technique and really is the feature of the card. The edges of the petals are highlighted with marker to add some color and interest....thanks for the idea MamaK! Loved your pear.

This is gorgeous! I love how you used marker to highlight the edges. Now, what exactly is the "diamond dust" technique? Will you share?

Diamond Dust technique: go over the stamped image or even just plain cardstock with versamark, sprinkle on irridescent ice embossing powder and heat. You can also get the same look buy sprinkling with heat and stick powder and then with crystal glitter. Have fun....it looks really awesome in person.
