I have the Manhattan Flower embossing folder, so I tried a different twist. I love this embossing folder. I ran the whole card through the Big Shot. Then I took two different DSP and embossed each of the patterns. Then I cut out several areas of the DSP from inside the embossed areas. I glued them to the corresponding areas of the embossed Card. I added pastels to the raised areas and covered some of the white edges. My daughter and I wondered if I should have made white "stitch" marks so it looked more like an applique. What do you think?

Heh- What a great idea!!!! SUPER!!!! Hugs Kay Mespelt (petking@vcn.com)
How creative. I would like to see one with white stitching as you suggested just to see the contrast.

What a totally shabby chic look. White gel pen stiches or even real stitches. Hmmmm...what a thought!
Very cute! TFS!
Wow color combo. Thanks for sharing your technique.

HI Sarah...I absolutely love this. I will have to give this a try once my new folder arrives (my first one broke in half). Thanks for sharing.

it takes many people to try out one idea and one person to go way beyond that idea to create something unique. super job!
I like your idea of paper piecing some of the petals! Your card is beautiful
Reminds me of stained glass, neat new technique!

Holy cow that had to have taken some time - but looks WELL worth ti as it is BEAUTIFUL!!! Great work!
Hmmm I wonder if the white stitching would just jumble up the beauty? I really love the way it looks right now..... and it's hard to mess with perfection LOL!
Great Work regardless - I tried this tech using the small embosslit flower and woah, TOO tiny for that LOL, I never thought to try it out on my Manhattan Flower.... now it's a MUST!
Thank you for sharing!

Adorable! Good job! I love that set.
Wow - what a great idea. I think the stitch marks would look good - make it stand out even more. Love that folder!
I have admired the manhattan flower from afar...you have made a really lovely design.

Wow!That is a very clever technique! You are awesome Sarah! It would be interesting to see it with the stitching!
Great technique! I seem to be in the minority here, but I'm thinking the faux stitching would be too much. Maybe actual stitching instead with a complimentary color so it doesn't really pop too much?
Very cool. I love that you used the DS paper!! What a creative twist.
WOW! This is beautiful and unique. You are very talented for thinking outside the box. I love this die as well...
Sarah, what a great way to accent the flowers. You are so creative.

Neat technique. I think the white stitchmarks would look nice -- complete the applique look.
Lovely card -- I'd add the white to the Manhattan card to make it pop even more!
And thanks for sharing your paper pierced card. I just received that set and I love the look of paper piercing.

Sarah- TFS this twist on embossing. Very pretty. I would like to see it if you try some of the faux stitching.
Beautiful card and great color combo. I have the die and have seen soooo many cards with the stamps so I guess I'll have to break down and get those! TFS Nancy

Congratulations on a great blog !
WOW! C@@L Idea! I can't wait to give it a try myself. Thanks for sharing. Nancy l :^) -- Got Stamps?
that is really cool. It makes it look like a quilt. I have to try it.
Love this! So Unique - gotta try this! Bet it is a fairly long process.
The stitch marks might make it a nice country looking card but I think it is great, very artsy the way it is without the stitch marks.
Either way, it is a beautiful card and I love the idea of cutting the parts out of different DSP. Thanks for sharing
