old dies...

 my goodness I don't know when I bought these but I am naughty this set was unopened.....must be several years ago....



Tattered lace Lavender twilight die and Charisma....the back ground die is from the picture postcard collection...again years old and the stamp is a very old Hero arts stamp that I have had for at least 20 years....very satisfying using old stash...

I hope you are keeping safe and well....thank you for popping by today.
