This bad boy is embossed within an inch of it's life...
ETA: I'm posting the steps I took to get this look as I've had a few inquiries about it.
1. Stamp tree in Cchip. Use SAMJ and restamp exactly over top with versa mark. Emboss with clear EP.
2. Follow same steps with leaves. To make sure it was nice and clean, I stamped and then embossed each of the leaf stamp separately.
3. Stamp the En Français background in versamark overtop of the embossed tree and leaves. Use clear EP and heat emboss.
4. Using a sponge, I started with soft sky ink, then more mustard, pumpkin pie, real rust, and then a light sponging of chocolate chip all the way around. The key is to tap lightly on the sponge and keep the ink evenly dispersed.
It would've been easier to use craft ink and then emboss over top in clear EP but the only craft inks I own are black and white. That's why I used the SAMJ to be able to have the classic inks embossed.
Clear as mud? LOL! PM me if you have any questions.

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

Gorgeous. You are definitely a champion at embossing. I would have white flakes everwhere and I have looked closely so I could feel better about myself and there is NO evidence your suffer from that problem. Great card, Great job. tfs.
