Technique Challenge 14 8-7-09 updated with participants

Good Morning everyone,

this week I am hosting a technique challenge for you to try. About a month ago, I saw the double embossing or Emboss to de-emboss technique demoed at a stamp convention. I have been having fun trying different pairs of folders. Or using the same two folders but with different cardstock and embellishments for two different looks. Here is one card using the swiss dots and stylized flowers CB folders. Here is a second card using the same folder, but different cardstock for an entirely different look. And here is the first card I made after I saw the demo.

My challenge to you: get out what ever machine you have that embosses and choose two folders or texture plates and create a card. Post a link here in this thread by next Friday morning (8/14) and I will put your name in the hat for a grab bag prize. If you upload a second card, you get a second chance at the prize.

If you have any questions, please post them here and I will answer for all to see. Your question may also help someone else.

Good luck and have fun. Let's see how many different combinations we get by weeks end.

You still have the rest of the evening to upload a card if you want a chance at my grab bag prize.

These are beautiful cards! And what a great challenge. I've been meaning to do these challenges since they started up again but time seems to slip away from me. I will definitely challenge myself to meet this challenge!
