Hi Lynne. Welcome to the group. Michael's stamps are lovely aren't
they? I card make but I can't stamp to save my life! I get about 1
in 5 that I am happy with, so have given that up. I do use
background stamping as that is not quite so critical. Perhaps the
enthusiastic cross stitchers in this group will fire you up to one of
our designs. If you want advice about which are easier to stitch
then give me a shout.

Julia
