Can You Handle the Pressure - PUMPKINS/ORANGE

 Dear Ones~  

There's a new challenge over at Can You Handle the Pressure.   For this challenge blog you MUST use an EMBOSSING FOLDER on your project.  Heat embossing (with embossing powder) is permitted but only IN ADDITION to your embossing folder design.  Each new challenge will have a 'TWIST' which is optional ... your choice to use or not.

The OPTIONAL TWIST for today's challenge is:

PUMPKINS/ORANGE
 This is my card:
I love the Fractured Card Technique. To learn how to do it, click HERE.  There are so many patterned papers out there, so many combinations. Try it - I think you will love it. The pumpkins are from a Gina K Designs mini stamp set. It's retired, but I reach for it often.
 


 
 The Ingredients
Stash Patterned Paper
Recollections Purple Card Stock
Darice Basket Weave Embossing Folder
Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Embossing Folder 
GKD Everything Nice Stamp  
GKD Elegant Thoughts Stamp for Greeting
Ohuhu Alcohol Markers 
 
 
 
 
 So head on over to the Can You Handle the Pressure Blog and play along, and don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created while you are there. I can't wait to see all your wonderful designs!!

 Until next time dear reader, I hope you "can handle the pressure"!
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE.

  1. Your fractured card is absolutely delightful—such a clever use of patterned papers, and the embossing adds wonderful texture and depth. The purple backdrop is unexpected and striking, making those pumpkins pop beautifully. I especially love how you’ve blended warmth and whimsy with the fall theme.

    It was such a pleasure to see your comment on my blog—I truly appreciated your visit and hope you’ll stop by again soon!

  5. This looks amazing, Judy! An inspiration for all of us paper addicts. I watched the video and it's one of the easiest demonstrations I've seen. I've bookmarked it. Thanks! I like your basketweave embossed center and the oldie but goodie pumpkins positioned off to the side and looking just right. Beautifully done!
