An Autumn Wishes Theme With Naturals Botanicals!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:

I chose the beautiful images from our Natural Botanicals stamp set. This is a stamp set with no coordinating dies so I fussy-cut all of the leaves with Paper Snips:

This stamp set is double-sided, which means you stamp the lined images, flip them over to the flat side of the stamp image and add color to the leaves:
