Can You Handle the Pressure? – Pastels

Are you ready for a new challenge at Can You Handle the Pressure? This fun challenge is always “anything goes” – but you must use an embossing folder on your card. There’s also an optional twist that you can play along with, and for this challenge it is “pastel colors.” Please visit the challenge blog for all the details and to see some more inspiration from the rest of the design team.

Using distress oxide inks and a blending brush I colored my background before embossing it. I tried to soften it up a little with some white paint splatters. The flower image is from Pink Fresh Studio, heat embossed in white and cut out. I mounted that on a white rectangle die cut with the Hemstitch set by Spellbinders.
