Tips from the show

• The stamp set comes in two sizes, so you can use the smaller design on matching envelopes.
• You can elevate the design with additional colour, texture or stencil work behind it if desired, but the stamps carry themselves well with minimal embellishment.
• This design is very appropriate for proms, events, celebratory occasions, weddings and anniversaries.
