WENDY (Wendybell) has a fun challenge for us today! Thanks, Wendy, I have seen this tech but had not tried it!
The lovely RUBBERNECKER image was stamped, colored using copics and cut out and framed using Spellbinders new Fleur de Lis Squares. Extra leaves were colored, cut out and popped up. To create the embedded embossed background I googled rose petals , printed the picture, cut out the rose petals and embossed using an SU Sizzix E/F. TFL!
This is also for the todays QFTD55! Today Harriet (hskelley) is being honored. Harriet always leaves such wonderful comments and encouragement! Beautiful gallery, Harriett! Thanks for the inspiration! This is Harriets beautiful card that I chose!

How beautiful is that idea to use the rose petals for your BG layer before embossing it?? This makes a very elegant setting for your rose image on that nestied Fleur de lis - great card and one to certainly give tribute to Harriet for all her wonderful inspiration!!
