I had the good fortune of being chosen as the winner of the Day Of The Month Card Club July Challenge. With that win came an opportunity to join the Design Team as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

I am excited to be posting here as Guest Designer for the Day Of The Month Card Club Challenge #67 where the theme is "Autumn Stroll Day" - Anything Goes with a theme of Autumn - my favorite season. I broke out my NBUS (never before used schtuff) Fall Bounty Dies. I have had this wonderful Honey Bee die set since last year and had not used yet. This was the perfect opportunity.
I ran across this video on YouTube Hot Foiling With Dies With Channin who used these dies in her video. When I first die cut and colored them with Distress Oxide Inks, the beautiful detail was lost. When I hot foiled with them using the Glimmer System, the detail shone beautifully. The photo above does not do it justice, but IRL these gourds and leaves look marvelous.
Big thanks to the DOTMCC Design Team for choosing my card and to give me the opportunity to Design with them for this challenge.
Please head over to the Day Of The Month Card Club Challenge Blog to see the wonderful inspiration projects from the Design Team. Come play with us! We can't wait to see your Autumn themed projects in the gallery.
