Welcome back friends!

The theme is "Fall Colors" and Darlene's Team (me!) is up first to share their awesome projects to inspire you followed by Diane's Team.
There is also a mood board to give you a push.
Creative Expressions Maple Leaves Stencil
This is my favorite time of year from the crisp air and colors to the approaching holiday season. I created three cards using the same embossing folder. The first card has the soft, warm colors of early Fall followed by the colors of late Fall just before the bitter cold arrives. And lastly, I embossed some burlap paper.
I used a newer 3-D embossing folder on cardstock with blended fall colors of distress ink. The edges and veined areas of the leaf are made more prominent by rubbing gold ink gently across them. I sprayed with both a sparkle and silver mist. The focal panel is double matted using a dark orange and gold metallic cardstock. The sentiment is cut from the same gold matte finish cardstock.
And, here's the next card using the same embossing folder...
This card has darker, intense colors inked over with a warm brown giving the feeling of older, dried leaves that we see in late Fall. It's sprayed only with the sparkle mist and has a glitter metallic base and sentiment.
And last, a card I made back in August when I first got the EF.
The burlap paper embossed really well. I matted with gold glitter cardstock, added some gold splatters and a few gems. The stamped sentiment is matted on a die cut leaf.

WOW! These are gorgeous! And, as you know, would fit our Word Power challenge too ... please feel free to share!
YOWZA! All 3 are so lovely. That Embossing Folder is magnificent and I love the one with the gold accents and die cut sentiment. Happy Fall!
All three are beautiful and surely show all the beautiful colors of fall!
Wow! What a treat to find three beautiful cards here. Your embossing technique makes me think of my younger days when we would do crayon rubbings of leaves in the fall. These cards celebrate the fall season beautifully.
I like the shiny golden words on your card and all cards are so very nice!!
