Here it is the fourth Saturday of the month already, which means that we are starting our second challenge over at the Can You Handle the Pressure? challenge blog. We would like to thank all those who joined us for our last (and the first!) challenge and hope you’ll play along this time.
Our challenges are always “anything goes” as long as you use some kind of dry embossing on your card or project. We also have an optional twist each time, and for this challenge it is “think spring.” Please visit the blog for all the details!
I used regular paper to emboss on, and you can see that the pressure was more than it could take, so the white broke through. Fortunately this produced a look I really ended up liking! I used an image from My Favorite Things and mounted it on a small rectangle I cut with a die from Spellbinders (“Hemstitch”). I chose the sentiment because it fit perfectly on the rectangle, and added the twine and bow to finish it off.
This is exquisite, great for our challenge too. xx
Just BEAUTIFUL Mel! I’ve had that ‘break through’ happen before and like you, I kind of like the outcome! LOVE your pitcher of flowers! Beautiful design! Have a great day!
I loved this as soon as I saw it, it is beautiful!!! I wondered how you got the white to show thru as it adds so much, now I know lol! I love it when a mistake turns out to be a happy ending!! Gorgeous Spring card!!
I love this one, your bold embossed background is perfect for showing off your very pretty spring flower bouquet xx
I love the white showing through the card it really gives it great texture, its great when these happy accidents occur., The spring bouquet is beautiful.
