Mounting ?? for Easy Elegance & Heartfelt Thanks

[raiwoof]

Wondering what the majority of y'all did when mounting the sets of Easy Elegance and Heartfelt Thanks. Did you leave the flowers and stems intact, or did you cut them apart separating the flower from the stem?

I'm having a huge dilemma with myself over this one.

Thanks so much for your responses.

Left both sets intact. Personally I like being able to ink, stamp and go! If I can save myself the extra step of the stamp-a-ma-jig, then it's all good. Especially if you have the markers, it's no big deal to ink up the stems and the flowers. I use both the markers and spots, and don't really have trouble with the ink getting where it shouldn't.

I feel the same way. I really don't like to alter the stamps in anyway. But they are so much easier to use separately. I think in the end I'm too chicken to do it. I did have a thread going about easy elegance. I don't know how to like to it. Most replies were that they kept the flowers together and use markers to apply color. I hope that helps. Let us know what you decide.

I cut them apart and Dh cut the wood apart for me. No regrets at all.
I did leave the outline as one piece and only wish I'd cut it too when I want to use only the flower but I manage.
