I think the picture in the catty doesn't do the background justice. OK..sorry..I just got my stamp and it's so much prettier than in the catty, I just had to tell someone who could appreciate my thought. Thanks for reading <g>
I agree as well. It is probably one of my most favorite stamps right now. I was inspired to try it out based on all the great cards made with it here on SCS. Check out the gallery!
ditto to all of that...I didn't give it a second glance until I saw all of the neat-o cards here made with it...and it should be waiting for me on my doorstep as we speak
I'm going to use it to make sets of cards to give as gifts this year...using the one sheet wonder technique. I think the grandmas will love the elegance!
I wholeheartedly agree. I often haul the floral stamp to workshops with me so people can see it! The catty doesn't do it justice! I use it a lot for background stamping.

I would almost rather see the whole design reduced than just a portion of it regular size. Most other stamp companies do it that way. I was actually confused at first because I didn't know it was only a portion of the stamp!

I agree with everyone. I got the stamp when it first came out, no clue what my motive was for the purchase. I had seen some samples here and didn't even realize I had the stamp until last week when I was looking through my backgrounds for another stamp. I got that mounted fast and used straight away. It is gorgeous and the catalog doesn't do it justice.
i love the floral BG - I made several cards where i paired it with the flower from Heartfelt Thanks --- very elegant! somewhere on SCS i saw a cool card where the floral BG was stamped over Just Jeans (or maybe it was the other way around) but in either "case" it had a great fabric look!

A friend at our stamping club made several cards using the floral stamp alone in several different colors. Absolutely spectacular! Have fun playing with it!
I totally agree!!! I never would have bought this background based on the pic in the catty...yuck! I just got in my order friday and I absolutely love it!! Most of my friends could not believe it was the same stamp that was pictured in the catty!

I just realized that if you go to the Online Catty and actually click on the floral stamp, it shows you the whole thing. It's small, but you can see that the pattern is nicer than the paper catty picture.
All this talk of the background stamp got me curious and so checked out the samples in the gallery. WOW!!! I'm a HUGE Anna Griffin fan and this is like one of her patterns. So pretty!! I may just have to add this to my list.
