The Flower Patch stamp set that I have been creating projects with is a photopolymer stamp set. Photopolymer is the construction material used to create a clear, see-through stamp, which is very different from our traditional red-rubber stamps. Photopolymer stamps are not a replacement for red-rubber stamps (which will always have a place in my craft room) but there are things you can do with photopolymer that you can't do with red-rubber. One of those is shaping your stamps. On this card I bent the BE YOU {TIFUL} stamp as I adhered it to the clear block so when I stamped it had a fabulous curved shape.
