I used the new Tiling Textures stamp set to create the...

Hola everyone! Pocono Pam here sharing a card showcasing the new Floral Silhouettes clear stamp set from the Mixed Media Catalog. Though the beautiful silhouette images are perfect for layering or grouping, I chose the single chrysanthemum to spotlight on my card.
