An Embossed Magnolia Card / Embossing Sandwiches

I have a very pretty card for you today, one that we'll actually be making at my July 8 Scraps and Prayers class.  I also put together some info for you that I think will be very helpful when you're working with your Big Shot.  My chart has information on 3 ways you can use the Big Shot --- with embossing with dies, with cutting with dies, and with using our newest 3D Embossing Folders and how to layer your 'sandwich' for each process.  Our newest embossing folders are a different thickness and this means we have to adapt our 'sandwich' to make them work.
First up, here's my card.

I kept my card very simple, to let the beautiful embossing be the star of the show.  I lightly brayered on White Craft Ink to make the embossing pop.

Does it make you smile?  I love this one.

And here's my chart.  I hope you find it helpful.
