Embossing to the 2nd Power

This week the Challenge as Studio L3 is Rusted Enamel.
The Challenge at Simon says Stamp and Show is Show Some Embossing.
I made a card using the Rusted Enamel technique on a die cut of a door plate showing Alice through a key hole. I really like the way it turned out. Just like old rusted paint.
Underneath that layered printed paper over some Steampunk embossed cards stock.
Its an embossed card lovers dream!
