Simply Embossed Backgrounds

Although the coloring of this image took a while, as the image has such small flowers and leaves, but coloring with Copics worked as they have such a sharp point. The stamp set is Concord & 9th's Happy Days and the background is die cut with Simon Says Stamp's Frames and the center panel is embossed with Stampin' Up's Tufted 3D embossing folder. The gold inlay was also cut from the Frames die set. This card is entered into this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Make Your Own Background. Embossing folders are simple ways to create interesting backgrounds, especially when part of the background is not embossed while another part is. Nested dies allow you to do this easily.
