Forever & Always

Hi there ~
Just a quick post today ~ I created another card for this week’s challenges:
Addicted to CAS - Code Word is ‘One Layer Card’
Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge - ‘Clean and Simple’
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - ‘Anything Goes’ with a focus on using exclusive SSS products 

This is my very first attempt at using Wendy Vecchi’s Embossing Paste. I die cut a bunch of hearts from my SSS dies using a piece of clear acetate, taped it down with Washi and applied the paste...easy-peasy for sure, and I love the dimension! I’m sure I’ll be using this paste again very soon!





Here is a close up of the texture from the embossing paste:



I hope everyone is having a great day...Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by ~
Barb


Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp - Always & Forever
Ink: Versamark; Hero Arts - Unicorn Pigment Ink
Paper: Neena - Desert Storm
Dies: Simon Says Stamp - Large Holiday Shapes (hearts)

So pretty, Barb! Haven't tried the "paste" technique yet but after seeing your soft effect, I may just have to try it :)
