First thing you do is put your card stock in and embossing folder and run it through your machine of choice.
Now lightly sponge a light color over the raised areas. You want most of the ink on the raised design.
So far so good. Easy right!!. Now stick your piece back into a different embossing folder. Inked side up. Remember the front of the folder is the one with the writing on it. Run it through your machine 3 or 4 times. This will flatten the first design while still embossing the new design. Take it out and sponge lightly with a darker color.
Here are 3 that I did with different folders.
And my card. Hope you enjoy this.

Love the way this looks! What a great idea to color each embossed images in different colors so they can be distinguished from one another. Beautiful card! TFS!
