Embossing...

One of my favorite things to do lately is emboss!!  For this layout, I used 2 different types of embossing.  For the title, I placed some chipboard behind the cardstock and gently rubbed it with some sandpaper.  It works best if you temporarily adhere the chipboard to avoid slipping. 

The 2nd form of embossing that I used was with an embossing folder.  I wanted to mimic the tracks that the snowmobile would leave behind, so I ran the cardstock through my Sizzix using an embossing folder and again, lightly sanded the raised part. 

To add more dynamics to the page, I used torn scraps of our new sports line and popped out some bright yellow from the pictures for a little more pizzazz.  Although none of these papers were originally designed for a snow page, they worked together perfectly because Scrappin Sports & More is so versatile!! 

So tell me, what is your favorite way to emboss??
