Think Spring

 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 'Think Spring'.  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.

Today's card shows the combination of the two techniques and I LOVE how it turned out ... hope you do too!

For the background I embossed a light blue panel with a Darice 'Cloudy Sky' embossing folder then sponged over the clouds with a finger dauber and white craft ink.  My spray of spring flowers is a stamp from Hero Arts and I've colored it using Tombow markers. 


For my heat embossing, I've die cut three panels of this pretty Frantic Stamper 'Spring' die from white card stock ... glued two together for dimension then on the third panel I stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed using Lindy's 'morning glory' embossing powder.

Challenges to share in:

I do hope you'll come check out our new 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 . . .

    What a sweet nod to spring you've created with this pretty card! I hope spring is just around the corner, although that ice yesterday made me a bit skeptical on the timing! Let's blame that silly groundhog, ok? :)

    Oooh, there's that pretty, pretty stamp again! I love that you are enjoying it to the fullest. I would always play the twist in this awesome challenge 'cause it makes it just that much more fun. The spring twist is great and your embossed clouds make such a fun and pretty background!
