So I have been absolutely loving my IOD/Unity stamps...here is a layout in which I used touches of the Provencial Collection "My Dear" stamp set.
The papers are from IOD "Night Divine".

**In this post I will also be sharing a tutorial on how to make the pleated scalloped border on the circle...VERY EASY to do!

I handmade all the flowers to coordinate to the layout..lately I have been very stuck on making flowers...such an easy way to quickly match your blooms to your project. The centers are from IOD.


Here are a few closeups on the stamping...I am alway son the lookout for script stamps, I was ecstatic to see it be a part of this set.
