Color Challenge Week With Simply Leaves!

It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Stamping Friends and we have 3 beautiful colors to use along with neutrals. Here are the 3 colors:

Since it’s fall here in Maine and the leaves are almost done falling off of the trees, I decided to use a leaf theme on my card with multiple products:

The Lustrous Leaves Bundle is so much fun to use on our new Stampin’ Hot Foil System. The Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Die actually hot foils 5 leaves in one step and so does the die to cut them out. I used our Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls on each leaf. The leaves are absolutely gorgeous:
