Sanding
People like to dry emboss backgrounds and then sand them so the core shows though. It gets the dry embossed image to really pop.
I did it here and really makes the background look like old bricks or worn cobblestone I'm not a big fan of sanding though. I swear I always feel as though I've coated my body and desk in grit afterward. Don't hold your breath expected me to invest a lot of money into scenic embossing folders. I'll let those other people do it.

You're absolutely right, it makes a difference. I have a teeny and ing block in my stash, I use it to lightly rough up stamps that are new first and foremost...it's artistic endeavours rely on my remembering to use it. And I don't, usually!
That's a really good EF to use for sanding. I hardly ever to it, but partly just because I always forget about it.
That old bruck look you achieved with the sanding of the embossed card looks fab. Great card!
I love the combo of the weathered brick embossing along with that delicate die cut! They work so well together!
What Carol said. Also, I just did this myself yesterday - sanded a dry-embossed piece of co'ordinations card stock. I liked it a little, but it's trash now. Kudos for yours making it to the card!
I don't sand either. I tried it once and it didn't thrill me! I like the look of your old bricks!
Well I like the look of your old brick, but, sounds as though you had a lot of dust to go with it lol..Not for me!
I'm covered all the time with Glitter even my car has the shiney look on the seats...LOve your embossing die and great design.
