Now on to this week’s new challenge. We have a color challenge this week:


I quadruple layered my cardstock colors. Here are the layers I used:
- Old Olive: 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored in the center at 5 1/2″ and folded
- Basic Black: 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Strawberry Slush: 5″ x 3 3/4″
- Whisper White: 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″
For the top layer, I embossed the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder twice diagonally, facing each other and leaving about an inch in-between the embossings:

- Cardstock: Old Olive, Basic Black, Strawberry Slush, Whisper White
- Inks: Old Olive, Basic Black, Strawberry Slush
- Accessories: Basic Black Chevron Ribbon, Pearl Jewels
- Stamps: Six-sided Sampler
- Tools: Big Shot Machine, Delicate Designs Embossing Folder, Hexagon Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The slanted embossing on your card looks lovely Debbie, how very creative indeed. The little pearls add such a delicate touch to an already delicate design. Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
