What Will You Stamp? #30

Happy Monday!!!  It's time for another stamp set challenge at the WWYS? Blog!!  This week, we have a really pretty set from the Holiday catalog:

and, here's my card:

Very simple card!   I used our thick white cardstock for the base, and embossed it using the Woodland Embossing Folder!  The leaves were stamped in black, then sponged over, rather than actually "coloring" them in!  Simple, but elegant!
