Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a very nice holiday season with family and friends and that 2021 is filled with good health and happiness!
The team at Addicted to CAS has been on an extended break, but we are back with our first challenge of the new year. I am hosting this challenge and the amazing Trina is our Guest Designer. I've chosen 'Emboss' for our Code Word...heat and dry embossing are welcome, so I hope you'll join us!
I have decided to use both heat and dry embossing for my card ~
I started by embossing a 5x5 panel with a textured embossing folder, then die-cutting the Gingko Leaf with an old panel of alcohol inked and foiled cardstock. I heat embossed part of the sentiment and used gold foil cardstock for the word sweet and thin square frame. Here's a close-up of all the texture on the embossed leaf and panel ~
We would love to see how the code word ‘Emboss’ inspires you. If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog ~

Wow! This is so elegant, Barb! That ginko leaf looks amazing!
Barb, I love all that gorgeous texture and that ginko leaf is amazing. The colors are beautiful, too. Normally I would add silver with this color scheme, but the gold gives it a richer edge. Gorgeous CAS card
