So yes, you can emboss on textured cardstock. And the results are super cool.
The cardstock still retains the texture under the embossing, creating a beautiful pattern. The embossed texture and uneven embossing results in such a cool vintage look.

Kate found it was best to use a semi solid image and use a stamping platform to allow for multiple stamping. This will ensure proper coverage. Kate found that stamping each flower 3 times worked best.
