You open the Catalog and see a flower stamp set and then you keep flipping the page because you really think "I don't need another flower stamp set". I get it. I do the same exact thing.

Petal Promenade

These flowers are a little wonky when cut out, but I love the contrast between the abstract flowers and the … [Read more...] about Petal Promenade
