Artistic Leaves & Timeless Plaid Designer Paper!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is this photo full of plaid patterns and colors:

I used the Timeless Plaid Designer Paper and added some handcut leaves from the Artisitic Leaves stamp set:
