Can You Handle the Pressure - WEATHER

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:

WEATHER
Here's my sample:

 Lots of fun fussy cutting here. I brought out some patterned papers that I thought were kind of weather related, and colored that sweet little ducky from Simon Says Stamp with my alcohol markers. It came together pretty quickly because of the fussy cutting. If you have the right patterned papers, fussy cutting is the way to go, much easier than coloring and it really packs a pop. I embossed that cloud background panel for some dimension.
 

 
The Ingredients:
Recollections Gray & White Card Stock
Honey Bee Spring Lullaby Patterned Paper 
Doodlebug Easter Express Patterned Paper
SSS Showers and Flowers Stamp Set
 SSS Swirly Ridges Embossing Folder
SU Cane Weave Embossing Folder
Hulu Alcohol Markers
SU Epoxy Shapes for Raindrops
Stickles  

 
 
So head on over to the Can You Handle the Pressure Blog and play along, 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.

  4. First of all, I love that you chose gray for the overall color. It still looks like a rainy day, but brighter somehow. Your panels with the light blue clouds and the rainbows and the flowers really add a punch. I must mention your cute duckie with the patching umbrella for this card. He takes the show. You are a master at cardmaking.

  5. Love your card, I think paper piecing is one of my favorite "oldie-but-goody" techniques!
