Okay I Succumbed!!!

WElcome to my new follower Kren--I have a confession ---I succumbed---to the gorgeous single rose stamp from Honey Doo Crafts ---BUT in my defence I don't have a "single" fower stamp and this is absolutely gorgeous stamps perfectly and has shading already on the flower too.

Sooo this is a blip on using neglected stash and I made a quick CAS card.
I coloured the stamp with promarkers I die-cut a frame and the wooden love(coloured with promarkers) from stash.

    Well, you should have no regrets on this purchase as it is beautiful and I love the card that you designed. Going to have to admit, I also recently ordered a stamp set (all kitties) from Whimsy Stamps - so guilty here too - but not too guilty as I do not have too many kitty stamps!!! LOL
