Can You Handle the Pressure - IN THE SKY

 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:

IN THE SKY
This is my card:
I have to confess that I don't know the name of this balloon set or the background embossing folder. I found them both in my stash from back in the day when I didn't know enough to keep the packaging. That was before I was on design teams. Who knew I would need to know stuff like the name of the company? The balloons are a stamp and die set. I stamped them with Simon Hurley inks and I think they came out pretty good. The addition of the silver baubles is a nice final touch. I embossed the light blue card stock with the cloud embossing folder and then ran white pigment ink over it to make the image pop.



 
The Ingredients:
Recollections Blue Card Stock
SU Soft Sky Card Stock
Recollections Holographic Card Stock
Stash Balloon Stamp and Die Set
Stash Cloud Embossing Folder 
Simon Hurley High Tide & Clear Skies Ink
 

 
 
 
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. Yes, who knew? There is so much fabulous texture to love here, Judy! What a great stamp and die set, really cute! The very cool cloud embossing is different from anything I've seen. The baubles to decorate, the holographic paper... it all looks amazing together!

  5. Another great cloud folder, very unique and adds such perfect dimension. Probably good you don't remember who made it or it would be another thing on my wish list!

  6. If they are that old they would be out of stock anyway, Judy, so we don't need to know. ; ) Those baubles add an air of elegance to your pretty hot air balloons and that cloud folder is fabulous.
