We are thrilled to have BozenA (ArtCardBox) as our Guest Designer this month. Please check out the challenge blog to see BozenA's beautiful layered stamping with heat embossing card ... and the amazing cards from our Designers.
I decided I needed a bit of help, so I placed my outline image in my misted and stamped with antique linen distress ink. I then lined up my image in a second Misti that I have (or I could have used the stamp on blocks) with the leaves stamp, stamped with versamark and heat embossed the lime green. Repeated with the red flowers. And then finally, placed my card front back in my first Misti with my outline stamp. Used Versamark and silver embossing powder to create the outline. Each layer I added lots of anti static powder so that the embossing powders stayed where they should be.
I fussy-cut the image and placed it over a simple lined background that I made with my brayer and a few rubber bands with tan ink. Very subtle, but adds a little something. Popped up a thick white frame over top, and also popped up my flowers on top. A simple sentiment heat embossed in red finishes the design. Happy with how this turned out.

The technique looks fabulous Loll and like you I learnt along the way with layering stamps. What a striking colour on the fabulous flowers, great fussy cutting, love the subtle background and the way you popped out some of the flower out of the frame looks wonderful x. Unique and beautiful card x.
I am so impressed with your flowers and leaves, Loll! The colors are so vibrant and I love all the dimension you created with this technique! Great idea to create a subtle background, too...another really stunning work of art! Barb xx
Striking and so gorgeous, Loll ... these lovely blooms look almost glass-like ... fabulous against the soft, subtle background! Hugs, Anita :)
What vibrancy in the close up of those rich blooms. Such a smart approach too. I scratched my head a lot on this technique. Bravo with this gorgeous result. Love the red embossed sentiment to match. A beautiful composition too. xxx
Beautiful flowers, Loll. Love the red and silver embossing.
Lovely card, Loll, the flowers really stand out against the delicate background. xx
You did a fabulous job of this technique, Loll. It's one I'm hesitant to even try. This looks gorgeous in those wonderful colors. I can't get over the fussy cutting you are willing to do. I can see where lining it up would sure be difficult.
Love these red flowers, Loll! The silver outline makes them very elegant. Love that subtle background too. It add that extra something special!
Love the silver embossing powder for the outline! Such a perfect finishing touch! Great subtle rubber band background too!
Wonderful card Loll, such pretty details. Hope I get to play along with this technique, Cathy x
Oh, perfect details on your lovely card, Loll! Lovely subtle background with the lines and gorgeous outlined red flowers!
Loll, your layered stamping is gorgeous. I'm off to check out the video, it looks like fun :)
I love your soft textured rubber band technique on your background, Loll. Such a nice subtle effect behind your gorgeous pop of textures and colors on your beautiful flowers that you fussy cut perfectly. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
Love your bold and beautiful flower spray Loll the red and green with the silver just pop! Your soft background finishes your card beautifully.
Oh Loll what a dramatic and elegant card - love how you have rocked the technique
Blessings

The photo doesn't do the shine on this spray any justice, it's so pretty glistening on my sideboard! Fab card and thanks for the well wishes Loll. xx
Gorgeous.

The heat embossing makes the flowers really shine and I really like the rubber band background. I am going to have to try that xx
A striking color contrast, I like it a lot. White card and so deep colors look great. Thank you for the description of the card. So much trouble, but the end result is dazzling.
Thank you very much, Loll, for such a warm welcome in the group of DT. I am honored to be able to take part in this challenge. Thank you *
Beautiful shine of the silver embossing on the vibrant red flowers and the lime green leaves, Loll! The rubber band background adds the right amount of interest (without distracting), and the wide frame strikes a perfect balance between the bold red flowers and the open white space!

This is beautiful Loll. Great results from the layered stamping and I love the heat embossing to finsih it off xx
Beautiful layered heat embossing, Loll. The image layers look lined up to me. Fabulous design... that rubber band background is perfect to show off your striking flowers. xx
What a great technique this month! Your flowers are so pretty in the red with the silver detail Loll! xx
It sounds like a lot of work went into the flowers, Loll, but well worth it because they are beautiful.
You have blown me away with this card Loll. Boldy bright and beautiful. Lovely soft background.
That silver really outlines this flower so beautifully. I love those deep colors and such a unique background with rubber bands.
