I Hope This is Right

Okay, I'm pretty new to cardmaking. I don't know all the lingo and techniques and certainly am not up all all the latest products but I'm learning and I think I learned something new today...thus the post title...I hope I did this right.
This week, the Treehouse Stamp challenge is Decoupage. I have no idea what this is so I asked my trusty friends over at cardmaker and got some answers that didn't seem to match with the Treehouse DT samples. So I did some more searching and careful examination of the DT's work and came up with what I thought Decoupaging is. I printed my image several times and took certain aspects of it to pop dot and make them 3d. I hope this is right. I 3d'd the flower, the tail and the mouse's right ear. I made two layers on top of the image for each of those parts. I think it looks pretty cool though you probably can't tell from the straight on picture. So I took a couple of other ones to show the dimension.
