Can You Handle the Pressure has a new challenge starting today! This challenge requires that you must use an embossing folder while creating your card. The theme is always “anything goes, ” however there’s also an optional twist you can play along with each time if you want. For this challenge the optional twist is “birds/birdhouses.”

I used a folder from Taylored Expressions, and to give it the look of more dimension I brushed some white pigment ink over the top. The images are from a Simon Says Stamp monthly kit, I got it a long time ago, and finally put it to use. I finished it off by adding some matching frames around the border and the opening.
