Golden Days

What a great theme - The Sisterhood of Crafters is celebrating the golden days of Fall by asking us to include gold on our cards!  Perfect!
I decided to go back and check for any Fall sets that I have not been giving enough attention lately - and wouldn't you know it, Gather Together leapt right out, lol.  I couldn't stop thinking about this lovely big maple leaf, and how cool it would look heat-embossed in gold, so that's what I ended up doing, of course, lol.  I then had a little fun playing with my Water Painters, adding some nice fall colors to them before cutting them out.  I wasn't sure I had quite enough gold on there at the end, so a bit of Gold Metallic Thread and some Gilded Gems finished it off.  Love it!
