Quintessential Flower for a Friend — PP136

I hope you’re ready for a color challenge today because Nance has a great one for us this week at the Paper Players:

I hadn’t used Regal Rose in so long, and it’s such a pretty color.  I decided to use the Quintessential Flower stamp because it has been sitting neglected on my stamp shelf.

Is it a Flower or Is it a Medallion?

So what do you think?  Does the Quint-Essential Flower stamp look like a flower or a medallion to you?  Personally, I go back and forth.  I can’t decide.

What I love most about this stamp is the layering possibilities that go with it.  And of course, the layering is made easier with the coordinating punches.
