The second was much more difficult to do, because of the big differences in light and shadow. The darker the cover becomes, and the more color and structure a cover has, the more difficult embossing will be. Embossing (raising and lowering) relies on light and shadow. A dark cover displays no shadow, and a cover with a lot of structure prohibits thin lines to stand out.
So if you want to emboss (or bump map) ornaments into the cover, then don't make it too dark, and don't add too much colors and structures.
