For my first card - I used the Lighthearted leaves set - embossing the images with clear embossing powder to give the leaves some shine. I'm seriously in love with these leaves - just love the look.
I inlaid the "thanks" right into the leaf with some gold glimmer paper - gold and fall just goes together - am I right?
Pairing the leaves on top of a Mossy Meadow card base just made those colored leaves pop. Add some designer paper, burlap trim, a gold button and this card is done!
For my next card, I went with a more "artistic" approach.
It's not quite what I envisioned.....but it's not bad.....
I started off by heat embossing the leaves in gold on watercolor paper. Then I watercolored the circles in Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist and Hello Honey. I wanted it to radiate....but didn't quite get the look I was going for. However, I still like the look of it - it's just -----different!
Now....time for you to head off on your Inspiration Journey - be prepared for some awesomeness!

Love the embossing and layers Jen. Beautiful cards.
Love both of these, but the first one is really my favorite! I never quite know what to do with anything purple, so seeing this dsp and your leaves together is a refreshing idea!
Wonderful cards! The first one really pops and the second one sparks the artist in me!
Loved your first card and thought the second was very creative. Thanks for sharing. Paula
Hi Jen. Very beautiful creations. I especially love the inlaid gold glimmer 'thanks' with your beautifully embossed leaves. D x
Pretty cards! I love the clear embossing - the subtle clear on color is stunning! Love it!
Gorgeous cards and colours!
Great medallion you created with the leaves on your second card -- ohh the possibilities!
Awesome projects, Jen!! Love the contrast of burlap and gold glimmer!!! Lovely!! Glad to be a part of such a fabulous group with you!! :)
Love how you inlaid the word into the leaf! Got my creative wheels turning!
Hello Jen, let me just say that the inlaid "thanks" is pure genius. I love LOVE it. Smiles, Elizabeth
