Card:
I used the Stampin Up Count My Blessings stamp set for my Thanksgiving card. I love the images in this set! I stamped the oak leaf and acorn image multiple times in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla cardstock for the background. I covered that with Vellum to take away a bit of its intensity.
I then stamped the same image in Rich Razzleberry ink on Rich Razzleberry cardstock. I made sure this ink was VERY dry by hitting it with my heat gun. I then gave it a good coverage with the Stampin’ Buddy before stamping the greeting with Versamark and covering with Gold Embossing Powder. If I didn’t make sure the Rich Razzleberry ink was dry the Gold Embossing Powder would stick to that ink too.
I then cut out several images from the Patterned Punkins Thinlits Dies in Gold Foil, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Old Olive cardstock and attached them behind the greeting.
I added a bit of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon and 3/8″ Crushed Curry Stitched Satin Ribbon to ground the greeting. To finish off the card I had to add a bit of bling, my favorite Gold Faceted Gems.
I hope you liked my card. Please make sure you leave a comment with the hashtag #stampitcontest to win the Season of Whimsy Hostess Stamp Set stamp set, and visit each of the bloggers on this hop!

Interesting concept to partially cover stamping with plain vellum to soften the effect. I probably would have just used a lighter ink and lost the dimensional look.
