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:
TREES
This is what I created:
I absolutely LOVE this stamp set by Stampin' Up called Treasured Kindness. That bonsai tree is so much fun to play with using many different colors for the leaves. Here I chose red, very striking! I really like the Asian feel, especially with the papers I used. I think that Cane Weave embossing folder brings it all together perfectly.
The Ingredients:
GKD Red Velvet and White Card Stock
Tim Holtz Metallic Card Stock
SU Treasured Kindness Stamp Set
Made In China Stamp Die
SU Cane Weave Embossing Folder
SU Sending Support Stamp for Greeting
GKD Inks In:
*Charcoal Brown *Kraft
*Lipstick Red *Cherry Red
*Whisper
If you head on over to the Can You Handle the Pressure Blog and
play along, you could win this fabulous embossing folder, it's really versatile.
Don't forget to
check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created while you are there.
Until next time dear reader, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED!
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE.

ReplyDeleteYour card looks like an oriental tapestry, Judy. It is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love your oriental take for this challenge. That royal red with the gold is so fabulous and regal! The tapestry looking banner really makes a statement. That bonsai tree is the star.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I too love the Asian Vibe and feel of this beauty! The red, gold and black give it such richness! That Bonsai Tree is spectacular and I do love it in the red as well. Great texture too! This scores a 10!!!
ReplyDeleteThe red/gold is gorgeous, love all the layering! That is an amazing stamp, has so much texture and dimension and the little touch of sparkle is so pretty.
