Stampin' Up! Counting My Blessings

Sunny Day Crafting Challenge #56 O is for Oval is my only challenge for today. You can see I definitely used an oval! Measurements are at the end of my post.

I used Early Espresso for my card base and the mat under the Lemon Lime Twist piece (for some reason, it doesn't look like LLT, but it is!). I stamped that piece with the acorns from the Count My Blessings stamp set in Versamark and heat embossed them in Copper.  

Then I adhered the LLT mat to the EE mat. My favorite ribbon in this year's catalog is 1/4" Copper Trim and I wrapped that around those mats, tied a bow and adhered it to a piece of DSP from Painted Autumn. That was then adhered to the card base.

On a scrap piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment from Count My Blessings in Versamark ink, sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it. I also used the leaf stamp from that stamp set, stamped just above the words and colored the leaves with a Lemon Lime Twist marker. The oval is die cut from the largest oval in the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I cut it so the leaves would look like they were hanging off the oval. I adhered it to the card with Dimensionals. 

The dots in three of the corners are White Perfect Accents, colored with a bronze Sharpie.

My card is CASEd from Linda Richenberg. This card may be too "busy" for some, but I love it and I love Linda's too!
