A really cute creation and thanks for the share! I would like to ask, which company makes the paper that was used for the flower?
The paper is part of a specialty paper pack by K & Company. Hope that helps. It's a really cute matchbox.
Am I missing something? I do not see the match box under the svg files? I have a Cameo....
