The Outlawz Monday Challenge - Embossing

I have followed the sketch from Designed 2 Delight.  I decided to leave the background as just the card blank and not use a background paper.  The embossed piece has been cut from deep red scrap paper and embossed with an embossing folder from Couture Creations.  The image is Nuts About Books from Bugaboo Stamps.  I have coloured using copic markers.  The matting is green scrap paper.  The button is another from my Mum's button box - still have lots left too!!  The sentiment is an acrylic stamp.  The lines have been ruled across the card using a Distress Marker - walnut stain.
