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 "sentiment as the focus". The challenge is open from August 27th to September 7th.
For my card, I used Simon Says Stamp Exotic Vines Embossing folder, applied Catherine Pooler Sea Glass ink directly to the valleys of the folder and ran it through my Platinum Plus. The sentiment was done with PinkFresh Studio's Thank You So Much hot foil plate and Spellbinders Rose Gold Glimmer Foil, then die cut with the matching die.
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!

Beautifully done, Stephanie this is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteLove that technique for embossing folders, and a very pretty sentiment. I am finding it harder and harder to resist jumping on board with the hot foiling! (Thanks for joining in at Krafty Chicks too!)
