Can You Handle the Pressure - Twist / Things w/Wings

 

 Hello Friends, thanks for stopping by today!

We have a new challenge starting today over on our new Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog and the TWIST theme is ...

THINGS with WINGS

Remember, the twist is optional but you MUST use an embossing folder on our projects to qualify for the prize.  Heat embossing is also permitted but only in conjunction with an embossing folder.

 Here's what I've created to inspire you today.  

I have so many beautiful Hearty Craft toppers, I just couldn't help but use one on today's card.  I love how this old Cuttlebug Frame embossing folder really sets it off.  I've added a Pink Fresh 'Perfect Sentiments' stamp/die sentiment ... a few Nuvo Black Crystal Drops and VIOLA ... card complete.

I do hope you'll come check out our challenge blog and play along.
AND yep ... we will be offering prizes at our challenges ... that's always a fun surprise!

Here's today's prize offering . . .

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
I appreciate it more than you'll ever know!!

As always . . .

Playing in the challenges . . .

 Happy Friday All!

I haven't been spending much time in my crafting cave lately ... you know how it is, summer time comes with a lot of 'other' things that need tending too.  Like your outside yardwork, reunions, grad parties, weddings ... well you get the picture!

So today was a 'relatively' free day so I took the time to create something to satisfy a few challenges I spotted over on Paper Playful.  Hope you like it ...

The challenges that inspired this card are as follows:

Cut it Up Challenge #309 - CAS
Just Us Girls Challenge #737 - ATG / Stencil
Moving Along with the Times challenge #168 - CAS
The Cutie Pie Challenge #196 - Beginning with B (Blooms, Bees, Butterflies, Birthday)
Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge - Beautiful Blooms
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #252 - Butterfly - Free - Bees

Product used:

Memory Box 'Texture Honey Comb' Stencil (#88521)

Altenew 'Mini Magnolia' Stamp & Die set

The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities - Butterflies

Elizabeth Craft 'Bees' (#710)

Tombow markers were used for the coloring of the flowers & bees.
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink was used for the stenciling
and the sentiment is an oldie but goodie by Endless Creations.
Dimensional tape was also used on two of the bees to pop them up.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend planned ahead!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and as always . . .
