Touches of Texture was the perfect stamp set to use today; I love the beautiful flowers on this card. I still have flowers on my mind from my 1/2 price buys at Lowe's over the weekend. Stamp Slave and I got some fun, exotic houseplants and some outside ferns and got a huge discount…I love saving money!
