I used different stamps from three Stampin Up sets (sentiment is from "Well Scripted" , Flower is from "Delight in Life" and the leafs are from "In Full Bloom".

The card below is for Splitcoast Stampers inspiration challenge #IC265. I was inspired by these coaster plates from Neest. I used stamps from three different Stampin Up stamp sets. Well Scripted, In Full Bloom and Spring Solitude.
