Embossed 'Greetings'

Embossing always adds a nice touch to every card, I think. But I did not do heat embossing for ages and decided that it's a good time to try it again, today *lol* But I also wanted to think a little bit outside the box so I embossed the tree once with a glittery clear embossing powder and then I stamped the tree a second time with black ink OVER the embossed one (slightly offset). I hope you can see it in the photo.. it really looks cool IRL :) All other things are kept very simple....
