  2. Very pretty card. I like how you used the stamp to create the flowers on the front of your card. Nice idea and I like the dimension it adds to the front of your card! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

  3. I enjoy stamping on printed paper too...pretty flowers.

    Flash is a weird thing...it will react differently depending on what colors you are shooting.
