Thanks for the tip about sanding ladies! I will give that a try.

Here is the card I ended up making for the challenge. The dots were done first.

The set is an old SU one - Petal Prints. I thought it matched that embossing folder quite well.

(I didn't label the card with the challenge name as I don't want to be in the draw if there is one this week, as I have been so lucky as to win the last two.) I just love the idea of having the challenges!

I just made another one using the same 2 folders but doing them in reversed order. I did the flowers first on this, then the dots, then lined up the flowers carefully and sent it through again. The dots stayed and the flowers really popped!

Well, it's taken me a few tries to get it "right", but here is my first successful attempt. I'm definitely going to try more!

Great challenge. Helped me figure out how to use an embossing folder that I could never use before this technique.

My card is posted here.

Heather, after I run my cardstock thru the first folder, I lightly ink over the top of the embossing. Then I emboss with the second folder. Sometimes I ink again, sometimes I just leave it "naked"
