Secondly, I'm posting my first card made with new fall stamps from the Holiday catalog, and I'll be using this set for my CWCM Fall Designer Project! For this card I used the new set Truly Grateful which has four nature images and two sentiments. This set just calls for fall colors and I've used Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla.
The chevron motif of the background stamp was repeated by using the Chevron embossing folder on the Chocolate Chip layer and also with the zig-zag Curry trim on the right side. This accent was cut with the Big Shot and the Tasteful Trim die! The tangerine layer is designer paper from the new-in-the-Holiday catalog Sweater Weather pack.
"Truly Grateful" greeting is from the set as is the "tree trunk slice" under the Designer Natural Button which is double-tied with Linen Thread. I used my AquaPainter filled with alcohol with ink refills to do some spattering... I love this technique, and my stamping area looks like it, lol!!

Love your cArd! I have seen your work on SUDSOL and always save pictures of your cards to CASE!
very nice fall cards, Margaret. You are such a talented lady. I'll never forget that you were the one that taught me how to heat emboss those many years ago!
