It's that time again for a new challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure
with an OPTIONAL theme of Orange and/or Pumpkins.
We are an anything goes challenge but an embossing folder is a MUST!
I went with orange for my card but have to say this was a cluster of disasters
from the get go! This is a Lisa Horton stencil and embossing folder set
Cinnamon Sticks and Oranges. I usually stencil first then fit into the
embossing folder and it comes out perfect., not this time though.
I pulled the stencils straight out of the package and started in,
big mistake as they were put in there upside down but little did I know until
I got about to the 3rd stencil (and they aren't numbered in use order either
like the other layered stencils I use are). This resulted in a couple of stencils
being used not in the correct order, but I figured it out and kept going.
But because they were flipped wrong side up it made my stenciling
not fit in the EB folder correctly to emboss, so I now have the debossed side up.
resulting in the look I have here, not happy at all but after all the work
of the stenciling I went with it...live and learn as they say!!
The sentiment is a die/stamp set from Spellbinders
'A Little Hello Sentiments'.
Hope to see you at Can You Handle The Pressure.
