Autumn Blessings

Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here today to share an Autumn themed Card featuring the NEW Bushel of Blessings stamp set from the August 2020 Release!

I love the images in this set and there are so many possibilities.  I know that sometimes I don't like to color and still would like an elegant looking card.  Well how about a little embossing and ink blending?  Not good at ink blending?  Here's a little trick...I start with a piece of colored card stock instead of white.  You will not only use less ink but will have a little glow in the middle of your image.

1. One a piece of mustard colored card stock stamp the image and sentiment with a Embossing Ink (Versamark), sprinkle embossing powder (gold), and heat set with embossing heat tool.
2. I used the coordinating mustard ink and a light brown along with a ink blending tool. Start with your lighter color and work from the edge and around the card. Don't cover the entire image...I leave the center alone so it looks like there's a bit of  a glow. You can then add the darker color with a very light hand.  You can repeat and stop when you get the desired look.  I always start of the paper and find working on a glass mat very helpful. 
3. The Gold mat was created by taking the Embossing ink direct to paper along the edges of the card stock and embossing with the same embossing powder.  It's an easy way to make sure your golds match.
