Lets try a little embossing

What I like about using an embossing machine, is the different looks you can get from one design using different tehniques.  I have used a small embosser and a leaf pattern embossing folder to make this card.  I wanted a worn look and used ink on the folder and ran textured card through the machine to get the green background.  I also ran through a number of both light and dark coloured cardstock, which I then coloured with either a metalic pencils (on the darker cardstock) and ink distressed the lighter cardstock.  A great benefit to this card is that I know have some great leaves for other projects.  I then stamped a sentiment on dark green cardstock with white ink.

Entered in to the following challenges:

Polkadoodles and Studio 12 - Embossing
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes
