Blessing of the foundations of a new six floor apartment building in Chiang Mai Thailand by Brahmin priest. Buddhism exists side-by-side with, and to some extent intermingles with, pre-Buddhist animism and Brahman practices. Most Thais, whether or not they profess to be Buddhists, believe in a rich supernatural world. When ill, or at other times of crisis, or to seek supernatural help, Thais may enlist the aid of a practitioner who is believed to be able to propitiate or obtain help from various spirits. Local spirits are believed to inhabit a variety of objects, and shrines to them may be found in houses, businesses in Buddhist temples, along roads, and in forests. Blessing ceremonies to ward off evil spirits and bad luck are carried out both by Buddhist monks and Brahmins.

I stamped the damask with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I rubbed brown stamping ink over the whole card. A slightly damp paper towel will take most of the brown ink off of the embossed image. If you painted the background instead of using stamping ink, you could obtain a much softer feel. I just thought I'd try this for a warm, fall card.
Translation from Spanish into English:
