Royal Blog Tour - A rose by any other name...

Cordial Greetings, my most anticipated guests! I hope you are having a fantastic tour along these royal paths of inspiration! Whilst you pass a moment here, I hope you find pleasure in the beautiful and versatile set I have the pleasure to present: Fifth Avenue Floral.

This set bloomed into popularity with several beautiful watercolor techniques, and is a perfect focal point for cards to celebrate birthdays, weddings, births, achievements, or other special days. For holidays, coordinate some beautiful colors and this set adds pizazz! It also can be a beautiful accent for sympathy or remembrance cards, and says "Sorry" ever so sweetly.

The most wonderful thing about this stamp set though, is the joyful use beyond cards! Roses are a universal symbol of love, perfect to add to wedding announcements or favors, accessories like the Guest Book or signs, and of course - the Scrapbook! Weddings, Graduations, Sweet Sixteen... dozens of events this set can add a special touch to. And then there are the OTHER two flowers!!

The beauty of it - it's not limited to paper! This set has crisp bold lines, great to stamp onto fabric, wood, glass, icing for cupcakes or cakes, pottery... I know you have only a short time with me, so I won't go on (and on, and on!)... suffice it to say this set is AWESOME! It should be at the top of your wish list!

To share with you on the tour, I created a gift for a sweet girl turning Thirteen this month! A plain metal make up box I "made-up" to look slightly more sassy...
