Can You Handle the Pressure - BIRTHDAYS

 

 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:

BIRTHDAYS
 Here's my card:
I really like this die set by Honey Bee, there are so many possibilities with it.  Using all the colors of card stock was great fun. This is for my brother-in-law, who is an avid fisherman, I hope he likes it. I borrowed the design from an artist on Pinterest. Try as I might, I could not find the post again. I feel bad about that, but just know this is not my original design. I love that Tim Holtz Tree Ring embossing folder and I think it is a perfect backdrop for the vintage lures. Getting that linen thread to hang from the branch was a chore, I had to hold my mouth just right to get it done. ;-)




 The Ingredients:
GKD Ivory, Red Hot and Kraft Card Stock
Tim Holtz Tree Rings Embossing Folder
Honey Bee Vintage Lures Die Set
Assorted Colored Card Stock
SU Itty Bitty Birthday Wishes 
SU Seasonal Layers Die for Branch
SU Linen Thread
 
 

 
 
If you head on over to the Can You Handle the Pressure Blog and play along, you could win this fabulous stamp set and stickers.  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, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED!
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE.
