Inspired by Nature Stamp Set



Stamp Set: Inspired by Nature
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red

I can see this set being a real favorite. I stamped the grass in Kiwi Kiss and then stamped off to give it a lighter touch. I stamped the flowers in Pink Pirouette and then dabbed Riding Hood Red on the tops with a sponge dauber. LOVE the soft effect.
