Can You Handle the Pressure - WINTER

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:

WINTER

 

 This is my card:

Isn't this little guy the cutest? He just makes me smile. The background is a gorgeous embossing folder by Simon called Filigree Snowflakes. It's one of my favorites. Here I embossed it with GKD Powder Blue cardstock (a color I don't use often) and then took white pigment ink to lightly drag across it. Such a good technique for getting the pattern to pop. I fussy cut the snowman's hat and scarf with patterned paper, always fun to do.

The Ingredients:

GKD White, Powder Blue & Silver Cardstock

SSS Filigree Snowflake Embossing Folder

Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman Friends Stamp

GKD White Pigment Ink

GKD Patterned Paper for Hat & Scarf

GKD All At Once - Holiday Season Stamp

SU Snowfall Thinlits Die for Snowflake

Stash Ribbon

 

 

 If you head on over to the Can You Handle the Pressure Blog and play along, you could win this beautiful embossing folder.  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.
