Pretty Floral

 It's a new challenge time at
Can You Handle The Pressure
and our 'OPTIONAL' theme is FLORAL!
It's only optional and you can created anything you want
but you MUST use an embossing folder!

I have become quite obsessed with 3D embossing folders
and there are some great companies coming out
with them and Simon Says being one!
I used a Simon Says Floral Centerpiece folder.
It is a larger folder measuring approximately 4 1/2 x 6 1/2.
I colored it in with Pebbles Cream Chalks
and was presently surprised they were just as 'creamy'
as the day I bought them being 13 years old, yep, they are from 2010!


The colors are actually a bit softer then shown, my photo editing skills
aren't always the best!!

We would love to have YOU join us at 
Can You Handle The Pressure!!

Entering the following fun challenges:
Word Art Wednesday .... ATG
The Flower Challenge .... Pretty Pastels

Diane, I think your flowers look gorgeous in those bright colors! I have never used cream chalks before, they must get better with age!

Cream chalks sound dreamy and they certainly look it on your card! I'm not seeing these colors as bright at all. What a beautiful piece! I'm addicted to far too many things when it comes to this craft!
