Simply Leaves For A Color Inspiration!

Hello and welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is full of fallish colors:

The Simply Leaves Bundle made it so easy for me to incorporate all 4 colors on the color splash image. It’s quick to cut the leaves out with the punch and add a little bit of stamping:

The leaf veins were white-embossed and I added shading with Sponge Daubers in the center of each leaf. I used tone-on-tone colors:
