OCC: One Layer Cards - Selective Dry Embossing

For Days 9 & 10 of Online Card Classes' Clean & Simple 3: One Layer Cards class the techniques were all about creating texture. I made 2 cards showcasing the selective dry embossing technique.

My first card is very masculine - using a woodgrain embossing folder to create the texture effect.

Ingredients: Sizzix Tim Holtz Woodgrain embossing folder; PTI Mat Stack #4; MFT Gift Card Greetings

My second card is a Christmas card. I decided not to color in any spaces with color pencils and instead added a little pearls in a few spots.

Ingredients: Cuttlebug Ornaments Embossing Folder; PTI Mat Stack #4, Happiest of Holidays; Liquid Pearls
