I saw these buttons for today's Inspiration challenge and used the graded colour palette from them for my inspiration. The buttons helped me stray a little from the palette - in a good way *grin*. I tried the pumpkin alone on the background, and it was quite harsh for the look I wanted. I almost sponged it to soften the edges, but I wanted a more elegant feel. It's been awhile since I used Stella Ruby paper from Basic Grey, but it was so perfect for this colour palette that I just couldn't resist.
My sentiment is from, 'Mother Teresa' by Our Daily Bread Designs. I stamped the water lily image in Tea Dye, and then stamped the sentiment over top in Walnut Stain. I just (finally) got my Fleur de Lis Pendant die, so I felt I must use it immediately!! *snort* It's a little tough to get the paper out of it, so if anyone has any tips for me, please let me know - I tore too many of the fleur de lis for my liking this go around. I tried twisting the die to pop it, I used a piercer a little, but the most tearing happened when I 'popped' the paper. I might have embossed it too much by using 3 paper shims, so I'll do that differently next time.
The rest of the creations by the OCC design team are lovely, so take a boo by using the links on my sidebar.

Gorgeous card Loretta! Your taste in DP is awesome, I LOVE seeing what paper you are going to use next!

I struggled with the Fleur de Lis pendant die until I read on Splitcoast some tricks on how to work with it. I use a paper piercer to poke out the cut-out pieces, and then I use the blunt part of an embossing tool to gently push the paper out of the die. I also have used a Creative Memories tool that has a tapered flat tip like a butter knife without serrated edges. It helps nudge it out without tearing the paper. Good luck with that die because once you have it mastered, it really adds a lot to your creations. Elizabeth S. in mid-Michigan

This is just gorgeous! I love the way you used the square Nesties on top of the Fleur di Lis. I have it but have not used it yet. You've inspired me.

It is a neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor which reduces the reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine that subsequently improves the levels of these substances in synaptic clefts therefore enhancing the feeling of satiety.
