Faux Leather Embossing Dinosaur

I made this card for a birthday party my son Max (age 6) had to go to.  It was fun to try a new technique - embossing the background using masking tape to get the textured look.  Here's a link to how you can make this look happen:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/faux_leather_with_masking_tape/

The only thing I found I did wrong and that I would change next time, was I'd put more ink on the masking tape to give it a darker look.  It worked out fine for this dinosaur background, but make sure you add lots of ink!

I put the masking tape down on a piece of scrap paper and ran it through the Big Shot before inking and embossing!
