Embossed acetate (Cuttlebug)

I pulled out the Falling Leaves Embossing Folder by Taylored Expressions to make these cards. Both cards use the same 3 Distress colors, but the one on the left uses Distress Inks, and the one on the right uses Distress Oxides. Once I embossed the panel, I just took the ink pads direct-to paper to color the leaves. I finished them off with sentiments from Handlettered Sentiments by TE. The challenge at ModSquadChallenge.com this week is Autumn Foliage, so I'm linking there.
