I received this rose stamp and die set the day before we left for vacation. I couldn't wait to play with them...so I brought them on vacation with me. It rained one of the days we were there and it was a perfect excuse to pull them out and play. I did the die cuts the night before we left and only brought a few supplies: my stamp platform, some mini stamp pads and a refillable water brush. I was so impressed on how beautiful they turned out. I've used other layering stamps before, but these were so much easier to figure out where each of the layers would go.
