A new challenge starts today at Can You Handle The Pressure? where the theme is always Anything Goes with an Embossing Folder and an optional twist. Heat embossing is welcome, but not required. An Embossing Folder must be used. For this challenge, the twist is birds.
To create my card, I used a wood grain EF on a piece of Kraft card stock and used a flat ink blending tool to apply distress ink to the raised surfaces.. I stamped images from the Spring Birds Stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, colored them with Prismacolor pencils and cut them out with the matching dies. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2. I stamped it with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, embossed it with clear EP, cut it out and
adhered it to the wood grain panel. I used fun foam to pop the embossed panel up on 100# card stock and my card was complete.
Please head over to the Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog to check out the Design Team inspiration projects. You are sure to be impressed! Then dive into your embossing folder collection and join us with or without the twist! Just be sure to use an embossing folder on your creation!
The look of bark you've achieved with the ink is fabulous, Stephanie! Your birds are the tweetest!
ReplyDeleteI had two courting Purple Finches on our deck rail the other day while the slider was open - that male was singing his heart out - and dancing, too!
