Embossed roses for MU5

I am SOOOO glad to have a heat tool again!  My order arrived and in it was my brand new Stampin' Up! heat tool.  It is super!  Heats up fast...way quicker than my now dead non-SU model.  So, I had to put it to work on a card for this weeks Friday Mashup challenge.  Here is the challenge:

and here is my doubly embossed card:

Card for MU5 using Fifth Avenue Floral, Four Frames and Just Because stamp sets

If you're wondering why most of my cards are "Thank You" ones, it is because I am heading toward the end of both the school year and the Stampin' Up year.  I will be needing TONS of thank you cards over the next few months, so many of my samples will be of a thankful nature.  This card could work for just about any occasion (expect maybe Christmas!), so just imagine an alternate sentiment if you'd like.  Here is how I put this card together.
Starting with a piece of watercolour paper, I stamped the rose image three times using Versamark.  I then heat embossed it using the new melon mambo embossing powder.  Then I took my aquapainter and watercoloured the roses using rose red ink...did you know that colour is pretty much a richer, more saturated shade of melon mambo?  I then set the roses aside to dry.  While that was happening I took a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of very vanilla cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using my perfect polka dots folder.  I layered it on a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Woodland Walk DSP.  I then adhered the now-dry roses in the upper left corner.  I wrapped a piece of rose red seam binding around the corner and then threaded a big designer button with another piece of seam binding before adhering to the cardfront.  I adhered the whole thing to a garden green cardbase.  For the sentiment, I stamped the polka dotted frame from the Four Frames set in wild wasabi on a scrap of very vanilla.  I then stamped the thank you from the Just Because level one hostess set in rose red and punched it out with my decorative label punch.  I layered it with another decorative label in wild wasabi and then adhered it to the card using dimensionals.  The final touch was a few basic pearls to highlight the sentiment.

So there you have it:  a pretty, feminine card for someone special!
