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:
CLOUDS
Here's my Sample: This card was really fun to make. There is a stencil by Colorful Life Stamps called Cloud Edger, and it makes the most wonderful clouds. They are very ethereal looking and almost real. Here I used different ink colors and then ran the panel through my Softly Falling Embossing Folder for some texture. I love those pretty Trinity Stamps Iridescent Raindrop embellies. A perfect addition for the look I was going for. It's hard to see in the photo, but I offset the white clouds with ones cut from silver card stock. Sort of a "silver lining", get it??? Greeting is computer-generated.
The Ingredients:
GKD White Card Stock
Tim Holtz Metallic Card Stock
Colorful Life Stamps Cloud Edger
Sizzix Softly Falling Embossing Folder
GKD Master Layouts 2, 3 and 6 for Clouds & Sun
SU Soft Sky, Pink Pirouette & So Saffron Ink

ReplyDeleteOk girl, how did you ever think to use the swiss dots embossing folder over those fab clouds? So stinking clever, wish that I have thought of it. But I have to say that those raindrops steal the show. They look so real! Well Done.
ReplyDeleteYour card is such a creative piece of art with those beautiful and colorful skies, clouds, and raindrops! I love how the embossing trails off into gorgeous raindrops! The sentiment is perfect for this stunning card, well done!
