Less is More - One Layer Card 'Leaves'

Hello,

Last week my youngest Son, Si, had a big promotion at work which is extremely well deserved. He works long hours and works really hard so I just had to tell him how proud I am of him.....

It's week 41 at the Less is More challenge blog and they are asking for a one layer card with the theme of 'leaves' so I am entering this...

Leaf stamp from Inkylicious
Adirondack Espresso & Lettuce ink pads
Small alphabet stamps were 99p from The Range


Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Sunday!
Lesley x
