Can You Handle the Pressure - VINES/GREENERY

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:

VINES/GREENERY

 Here is my card:

I used an embossing folder by Altenew called Vines. It's just beautiful and I use it often. Here I used Stampin' Up Evening Evergreen card stock, ran it through my machine with the embossing folder, and then lightly sponged white pigment ink over the raised design. I LOVE how it looks, very elegant. The greeting is from a very old Stampin' Up set called Feel Goods. I'm sad it's retired because it's really wonderful. I left the paper in the die after cutting and sponged it with some Whisper Ink to create a border around the greeting. Gold acrylic paint dotted on the "berries" on the vines completed the look.

SU Evening Evergreen Card Stock & Ink
