Autumn Blessings Give Thanks Card

A Touch of Fall is in the Air and it's time for making Thanksgiving and Fall Cards.  
I'm just loving the September/October CTMH Catalog. So many gorgeous products to use and only two months to do so.

I started this card by embossing the Stitched Circle Embossing Folder on Paprika White Core  Cardstock. 
I then lightly sanded over the raised area.

I also sanded the strip of Paprika cardstock and stamped four pumpkins from the Autumn Blessing Stamp set. 

The Sentiment is from the Autumn Barn Stamp Set which is a Hostess Only set for Sept./Oct. 
I cut the largest Heart from the Basic Hearts Thin Cuts and stamped the sentiment on the heart. 

The edges of the Dry Embossed Panel and the Heart were swiped with Vera Mark Ink and applied Gold Embossing Powder and Heat set it.

The Large Pumpkin was stamped on Watercolor Paper, colored with Paprika ink and a water brush and then colored over that with the Gold Shimmer Brush. 

A Four Loop Bow was made with the Gold Embellishing Thread.
