For my card, I used the colours from the inspiration photos especially the top right photo. So here is my card.
Grateful!//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js
I chose fall colours of yellow, purple, orange, brown and green. I sponged a watercolour paper with distress inks in two shades for each colour. For green I sponged Mowed Lawn and Crushed Olive. For orange, I sponged Spiced Marmalade and Aged Mahogany and for purple, I sponged Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserve. I then spattered the sponged area with water to add texture. Once dry, I die cut the orange and green sponged paper with maple leaves using Stitched Maple Leaves Trio dies from SSS. The sentiment grateful is die cut from the purple sponged paper. I also die cut couple more using brown cardstock and stack glued the sentiment with the purple die cut on the top. I adhered this on the outline die cut of the grateful die cut out of brown cardstock.

For the card front, I sponged Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed on white card panel. Then spattered Black Soot distress ink. Once dry, I die cut the panel using the largest stitched rectangle die from Stitched Rectangle die set from SSS. I adhered the sentiment on the bottom right corner with the leaves clustered and tucked behind the sentiment as shown. Finally embellished with Espresso sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. The finished panel is adhered on Fog cardstock base using foam adhesives.
