Very lightly spritz the front and back of both flowers.  Roll into a tight ball.

I’m still working on the Everyday Enchantment DSP that I have loved and now chopped.  I chopped it in 5-1/4” strips then cut the strips into 4” pieces.  Kept the leftover strips too.  I have stored them in a Full Wide Stamp case.  Kylie Bertucci has given us permission to Love It Chop It.
