Simply Leaves For Fall!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration challenge is a beautiful fall leaf photo:

The Simply Leaves Bundle sure makes it easy to stamp and cut the large leaves. I also added in a few smaller leaves that I handcut so I could layer all of my leaves above and tucked into the sentiment layer:

The colors I used to mimic the photo are Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Golden Glow:
