While looking through my DSP, I discovered that it is very difficult to find any that only uses two colors! Most of my DSP has one color on one side and 3 or more colors on the other side!
I could not resist using the large swirl from Everything Eleanor for vines for my flower. I have a lot of trouble with this one particular stamp falling off of the block when I go to stamp it, even though I put a layer of Tombow Multi glue on it! What I do instead is ink up the stamp without the block, place it where I want it on my cardstock and THEN put the block on top of the stamp and press down. This has saved me a lot of messed up cardstock from the stamp falling off of the block,which used to happen all of the time before I discovered this trick. Hopefully that tip will save you some wasted cardstock too!
