I have admired the cards made by inking the embossing folder before embossing the paper panel. I have met with varying degrees of success but still I will periodically try!
From 4 stamped panels I have ONE card made.
On this one I inked what would be the background of my card directly from ink pad to the embossing folder. I them stamped my image with black ink and quickly embossing the panel.
I added detail colors to the stamped image and trees with Memento markers and colored pencils then swiped the trees with ground espresso ink pad.

Sharon this is beautiful and rugged feeling! I like the way you stamped the folder first and then embossed (need to try that) as its beautiful. Giggled at your comment of not using the horse to get the tree. :-) Ruggedly beautiful Christmas card girlie!
