Enameled and Bejeweled Fall Leaf Cookies

I'll show you how to make these beautiful enameled and bejeweled fall leaf cookies with royal icing and edible glaze in the latest tutorial in my Cookie Art Club!

These fall leaf cookies were inspired by two enameled trinket boxes that were given to me by my grandmother.
