Heartfelt Blooms:

Have you heard of Stampin’ Up!’s new “Distinktive” stamps? The stamp lays down the ink at different opacities giving the finished image more depth – just ink the surface lightly for a perfect photographic finish. It’s so easy to create a work of art when you use this unique stamp set which creates a photo-realistic image. The process for creating this type of rubber stamp is such a revolutionary process that Stampin’ Up! has a patent pending!!
