This is breathtaking. It is so nice to see something so unique with this stamp. I have this stamp and am always looking for a new way to use it. The vintage look really rocks.

That bottom embossed layer is fabulous looking. I was afraid to try dry-embossing in case it squashed all my wrinkles out, but if it looks this good I'll definitely give it a try!
