Addicted to CAS

My big news for the beginning of 2021 is that I've been invited to participate as a Design Team member for Addicted to CAS! This is my first ever design team assignment and I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am. I've been following and participating with this challenge blog off and on since about July 2015. I was so impressed by the design abilities of that team that I considered them to be the "rock stars" of the card making community. To now be on this team 5-1/2 years later is a HUGE privilege for me!

Having said all of that, here is my first card as a member of the Design Team:

This challenge of January 2, 2021 is #188 "Emboss (Dry or Heat)" hosted by Barb. I decided to try my hand at using both methods of embossing on the same card. (This card layout is similar to one I produced last February.) The dry method was achieved by using a postage stamp die I have and running it through my Big Shot with a rubber mat. The heat embossing is done with VersaMark watermark and ZING! "Rouge" embossing powder for the lips and white embossing powder by Stampendous for the 'XOXO' (PTI "Heart Prints"). The tiny red heart is die-cut from red card stock using a die from one of MFT's collections. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession, stamped in Memento Die Ink "Tuxedo Black". I'm thinking I may use this design for this year's Valentine's Day card.

Here's a close-up:   

It's now your turn!
