Love that die cut Billie 🙂 Also like the colour range you used, I must get some Dusty Concord!
When I unmounted my stamps I kept some of the blocks as they came in handy for all sorts of jobs. One small block had velcros adhered to it and pieces of white felt to use with my alcohol inks! I must make up some blocks with cut n dry foam – how did you attach the cut n dry to your block?
Great tutorial, many thanks 🙂

Hi Lynn
Sellotape make a super strong Double sided tape. Here’s the tutorial about how I attatched my cut n dry foam to the stamp blocks.
Have fun 🙂
