Color Challenge Week With Simply Leaves!
It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Stamping Friends and this week, we are all using these three colors on our projects:
The Simply Leaves Bundle was one of the first ones I purchased when it debuted recently. I love anything that has leaves on them for products (and of course butteflies). Here’s what I did with this bundle:
I used two sizes of leaves and also used the leaf veins image for the background:
