Rest & Relax

I’ve had my eye on the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set and In the Tropics Dies for quite some time. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the old world tropical decor style of rich deep wood, sea grass, rattan, jute and sisal textures with rich green palm leaves and pops of color from tropical flowers. When this stamp set and dies came out a few years ago as a Product Suite, it was all I could do not to buy the whole thing. It was beautiful, but I contained myself! I quite thoroughly enjoyed myself creating with this lovely Stamp Set and Dies.
