As much as I love embossing folders, one would think that I'd play along with Can You Handle the Pressure every. single. month. But, as often as I use them, they aren't often the 'star' of the card .... until today! SO! For January 2024's challenge - with the twist of making it a birthday card - I'm making a statement with this gorgeous number from SSS: Lilac Clusters...
I used the EF technique of inking the negative side of the folder with Matcha ink and
spritzing with a fine spray of water before pressing. It left the lilacs the creamy white of my watercolor paper for simply water coloring with Sugarplum ink!

With the addition of their twist from a Betterpress-ed sentiment from
Spellbinders' A Little Message once again.
I love the depth of embossing on this one - and hope their team does too!

Thank you for this honor!
