Flower Shop

 

I just love this stamp set and the best thing about this set is that there is a co-ordinating punch that you can bundle together and get 15% off. How cool is that? I am also loving the new In Colours for this year. I find myself keep reaching for them whenever I am creating. I used the new Oval Framelits to cut an opening in the front of the card so that the sentiment can 'peek' through.
