Can You Handle The Pressure - FALL

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 'FALL'.  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.  
 
 
 The embossing folder used on today's card is a beautiful 3D 'Fall Foliage' folder from Simon Says (#SF214).  After embossing my card front I sponged on various Fall colored distress oxide inks in a diagonal patterns.  

Then I added a couple Maple leaves which I had in my stash which were created using a very old Spellbinder Fall Leaves die set (this set also embosses the veins in the leaves).  See below ...


The sentiment die is from Tutti Designs and as you can see, I have die cut it in 3 different Fall colors to make them stand out a bit more in my design.
 
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 . . .
