I have made a number of wedding and anniversary cards lately, and have received queries on how I achieved the lines below my embossing. This I do with a score board - it is one of the most useful tools I have.
This is my most recent card that shows how effective lines can be.
I first printed the words on to a 6" x 6" card and then embossed the top half of the middle section with the Cuttlebug Textile Texture folder.
Then used the score board to emboss lines to frame to pattern.
Again using the score board, I added lines to the heart shape for interest. It's difficult to emboss die cut shapes and at the same time retain the embossed edge which I like, so this was an experiment which turned out well.
My finished card with a few bits and pieces added - actually the bouquet took longer to make than the card, but, I did enjoy doing it! AND, isn't that what crafting is all about!! 
Thanks for dropping by, look forward to hearing from you.

Wow!! Beautiful card! And great tips! Thank you!! Where did you get your board from? That you used to make your lines? Very clever idea!! x
Eileen I think this is a truly beautiful card just my style. I ma having a problem with embossing dies cut shapes in the cuttlebug. My cuttlebu A plate has a honeycomb effect and you are instructed to place the honeycomb uppermost and then start your sandwiching on the top. If you follow nestabilities instructions combined with this instruction you end up with the honeycomb imprint onto the card of your die cut. Do you have qny suggestions regarding this? I dont like the honeycomb imprint on everything.
Just gorgeous Eileen
What a beautiful card Eileen.. I must keep these instructions for future reference Thank you for sharing and making it so clear
This is beautiful. I have a CB, but would never have thought of using this technique - it looks amazing, and the embossed "frame" is a touch of genius! I have been blog-hopping and found your sites via. Hunnybunny (Barbara), so thanks to her too!
