Embossing with a twist

We did this card at our unit meeting this past week. It uses embossing over a dark color with a light embossing powder. I didn't do the technique really well. I need some more practice.  It is supposed to look more distressed but I used too much embossing powder. The design on the left top came out best I think. It uses the Feb SOTM for the background design and we used paper from Olivia for the background.
