Can You Handle the Pressure - Twist - Winter Blues

  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 Blues

Remember, the twist is optional but you MUST use an embossing folder on your 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 today is the Spellbinders 'Notched Corner Poinsettia' (E3D-070).  After embossing a panel of white card stock, I used the 'direct ink to paper' technique and swished over the embossing using Brillance 'Ice Blue' ink and then Delicata 'Golden Glitz'.
 
 
 
The image was printed from Pinterest and then framed using the largest die in the Paper Rose 'Stitched Rectangle Frames' die set (#16679).  The stamped sentiment is from an old Verve stamp set.


In person, the 3D embossing on this card really stands out with it being inked!
It's a shame the photos never seem to capture the full beauty of our creations.
 
 
I do hope you'll come check out our challenge blog and play along.

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

As always . . .
