Place your embossing folder at an angle on your card stock. Run it through your embossing machine
Do this several times at different angles until you are happy with the design
Take a distress ink pad and swipe it over the top of the card stock. It will catch all the raised bits
Take your cut n dry and colour the background around the embossed pattern
If you turn the card stock over you can do exactly the same to the other side but you get a reverse of the pattern, so the ink catches more of the background and leaves the pattern white
Take your piece of card stock and screw it up
Unfold it, and you should have some nice creases
Take another colour distressed ink pad and swipe it over your card stock
Continue adding colour until you are happy with with it
You can do the same to the other side
You can tear the card stock into suitable pieces to add to your creations or leave it as it is to use as a background
