Stenciled Embossing

Here, after cutting the die, I ran it through to emboss it, using the embossing mat. Once cut and embossed, I left the die cut butterfly in the die, and sponged ink onto the raised portions of the embossing. (as if it were a stencil) I tried different variations, of color(s) and papers, but liked the Not Quite Navy on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock, the best. The patterned paper is non SU, card stock is Bordering Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Not Quite Navy; The ovals are made using the scalloped oval and oval, and were also embossed. (run through die machine using the embossing mat). Brads and ribbon for embellishments.
