Gorgeous!

This stamp is truly lovely. It's a good size, larger than it looks. I do find that there's a bit of a learning curve to these stamps, especially the larger ones. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap the ink over the stamp,,,,,I think it takes a bit longer to properly ink the stamp. When you stamp the paper, you must gently push all over the ENTIRE stamp, or parts will not show up. Once you get the hang of it, the stamped image is lovely,,,,,there is incredible detail, with A LOT of shading and depth. I do think better quality paper is necessary with these stamps. I tried several paper qualities, and I got the best image on the excellent quality paper. The LaBlanche stamping paper may produce even better quality impressions, but I find it rather expensive. But an excellent quality SMOOTH paper is a necessity.

four stars ONLY because there is a beginner's learning curve that I honestly didn't expect.
