Heartfelt Creations: Delicate Asters Debut!

Hello! It is time for another Heartfelt Creations release. The beautiful aster images in this collection will knock your socks off!  I decided to turn the aster into a fall mum.  Fall is my favorite time of year. I also wanted to show that you can do so much with these stamps and dies.
