On to my project:

I loved the Sangria paper pack from the moment that I saw it.

It's gorgeous colors and designs caught my attention right away!

Supplies used:

 Beyond Measure Stamp Set

Sangria Paper Pack

Cocoa ink

Sunset ink

New England Ivy ink

Gold Shimmer Trim

Vine Embossing Folder

Make It From Your Heart Vol. 1

Gold thread and my sewing machine (not CTMH)

When making this card, I used one of the card designs from Make It From Your Heart Vol. 1 How-To Program for inspriration.

I stitched the first background paper onto my card base with gold thread and my sewing machine.

I cut out and inked the edges of the chevron pattern paper in Cocoa ink.

I put my desert sand CS piece through my Cuttlebug machine with my Vine Embossing Folder and then swiped the top of the embossed piece with Cocoa ink.

I attached my chevron piece down and then my Gold Shimmer Trim.

I then layered my embossed piece on top.

Finally, I used the rock and roll technique on my pumpkin stamp.

I first inked the stamp up in Sunset ink and then rocked the edges with New England Ivy ink.  I also gently tapped it down once in the New England Ivy ink to pick up a little more green on the inside of the pumpkin.

I then fussy cut out my stamped image and placed it on the top.

I hope you enjoyed my peek at Sangria and Gratitude!
