ABC37 - Doubly Embossed

After taking last week off we are back in swing with a new challenge this week at 'ABC' Challenges.  The challenge this week is technique based - we want to see your Beautiful Cards made with two types of embossing (Doubly Embossed).

Adding texture through embossing is a great technique to use.   We thought it would be fun to challenge you a bit and ask you to use both on your cards this week.  What we would really like to see is your cards using both dry (texture) and wet (stamped and heat set) embossing.  But if that doesn't work for you then please use two different types of dry embossing patterns on your card.  We'll be happy with that as well. 

Here's some fabulous inspiration from our Design Team.  Click on their names to visit their blogs: 

 
Dry embossed and Ink Embossed :)
 
Went for a Christmas card again! Used a Tim Holtz embossing folder, and used some Frantage powder on the tree.  That stuff is of the devil I tell ya, every time I snuck up on it with my heat gun it still all blew away lol
 
Posted early!  Leaving for convention in the morning!! :) The second layer is dry embossed and the bicycle is heat embossed!!  Great challenge, Danielle!
