Autumn Leaves for As You See It Challenge #335

I've been looking forward to this As You See It Recipe Challenge for a long time, partly because I created it, and partly because I used all of my favourite elements in it when I did! I love creating with warm colours, and metallics and embossed textures, so this was right up my alley. If you had to create a Recipe Challenge, what elements would you include?

Here's the Challenge Banner:

Because I haven't made many fall projects, and this challenge was perfect for an autumn card, I decided to use my Autumn Leaves bundle as the basis for this, and I used a palette of:

Here's how it turned out:

• The Cherry Cobbler card base was embossed using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder, then Cherry Cobbler ink was blended on the top and back fold edge of the card base to enhance the embossed images and create depth and interest.
• A tag was die cut from a Copper Foil sheet using the tag die from Merriest Trees dies. I had some copper-like twine left over from a Paper Pumpkin kit that I used to tie a bow through the tag's hole at the top. I mounted the tag on the card front, as shown, using dimensionals.
• I die cut a variety of leaves and foliage using dies from the Autumn Leaves, Thoughtful Wishes dies, and Magnolia Mood dies. I blended ink of the same colour as the cardstock around the edges to create shadows. I also used some copper foil for some.
• Using Glue Dots, I created a pleasing arrangement of the leaves and foliage on the tag.
• The sentiment is from the Poised Peony stamp set and fits with the element of the recipe. I embossed it in Copper embossing powder on a Cherry Cobbler label die cut using one of the smaller Deckled Circle dies. It was added to the front of the leaf arrangement using dimensionals.
• Finally, I added adhesive backed Metallic Gems in copper, to embellish.
