Less is More...Metallic

The challenge this week at Less is More is to make a card with a color theme of 
                                                        METALLIC
Chrissie and Mandi have challenged us to use metal on our cards in the form of: ink, embossing, card, charms, actual metal.  I found this challenge really cool...and will probably think of something else by week's end, but came up with a couple cards that I made yesterday(SUPER EARLY for me:)!!):

 I have really had Fall on the mind...so it seems that this challenge fit perfectly with the thought of copper colored leaves!  This first one I made with some metal mesh I had been given by someone who gave up crafting...didn't know where I would use it...thanks, ladies, for challenging me to finally find a use for it!!  I took the mesh, cut it with wire cutters...cut 2 - 1 3/4" squares(package comes with 3 -  6" x 12" sheets of different meshes by Making Memories), patted it on versamark ink and poured copper embossing powder over the wire.  Heat embossed it.  Used the Papertrey Ink sets Leaf Prints for the leaf and Wreath for All Seasons for the sentiment. Stamped on die cut copper metallic textured paper leaf with versamark, and embossed with copper embossing powder as with the mesh.  Attached with glue dots and foam squares for the leaf.

This one I used a maple leaf punch from Martha Stewart with the same copper metallic paper as the first card, and used a sentiment from Papertrey Ink Signature Greetings.  Layered and popped up on same copper metallic paper attached to white card, also popping up 2 of the 5 leaves for a varied look.
Thanks for the challenge, and thanks for looking!!
