Inlaid Embossing - Faux Fabric PLUS Specials

I have seen this effect done on many blogs previously, so it's difficult to credit who started it.

I had some scraps of Beyond the Garden DSP laying around, so I thought I'd cut them all down to 1" square and adhered them to a piece of Daffodil Delight.  Then I inked up my Square Lattice embossing folder with Soft Suede (I tried Crumb cake, but it was too light) and ran the piece of cardstock through the embossing folder.  This is what you get.  What do you think?  Is this cool or what?  Sort of has a mosaic look, too, doesn't it?

Here's another card using the inked up embossing folder as the background.  Then I used the new Flower Garden embossing folder from the Summer Mini as my main image.  After it's embossed, I just used a sponge inked with Melon Mambo, and swiped it across the whole piece, making sure to ink the raised portions well.
