To make this card, I followed a technique I saw Jennifer Mcguice doing i.e. using your nested dies to emboss. What a cool technique :) Though my embossing is not so effective. Probably I should have added and and extra sheet of paper to increase the pressure while embossing... After that I stamped and watercolored the image.  I have used Blooming Buds stamp set, Crazy Double running Stitch rectangle dies and Gansai Tambi Water colors :)
