Can You Handle the Pressure - Twist - Winter

 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 ...

WINTER

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.  

Once again, I've gone through all my embossing folders and discovered a cut & emboss set that I have never used and I know I've had this set for at least 5 years.

This set is from Amy Designs and is called 'Vintage Winter'. This was sold through Dies R Us and a company called Find It Trading.  I don't see where it's available there any longer.

The stars across the top (that are 'red' in the image) and the lantern portion of the lamp posts (mine actually only has 3 lamp posts vs the 4 in the image above) have dies embedded in the folder so they cut out when you run it through to emboss.  The circle has a separate die which after cutting out, I decided to cut from a different color blue for my sentiment.  I've also used a strip of that blue color to accent the right side.  I have added a scrap of yellow paper behind my lamp post lanterns for illumination.

My sentiment comes from an older Penny Black stamp set called 'Snowflake Sentiments'.

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 . . .
