I absolutely LOVE this technique...when I first saw Lyssa's tutorial I went a little crazy embossing everything. This card is one that has been rattling around in my head since Saturday's inspiration challenge. I didn't get to make the card then, but this was the technique I had envisioned based on this pillow http://www.obxtradingroup.com/index....783&parent=117 I had the beads in my stash and knew the shapes would be perfect for the inset/embedded embossing. I didn't have many punches to help with the work so I mainly hand cut the shapes.

oh cool....such an awesome job creating from that pillow and neat charms you added here makes a neat card, and I agree that double embedded embellishing is fun I might do another as well right on here....TFS...:0)

I totally love this look, it's so natural and kind of ethnic - very clever using random shapes like that with the fab button/beads - I like the twine frame too!
