I don't usually use such bold patterns but I have had these papers for ages and thought it was about time I tried to use them.
And I just happened to have a couple of silk roses (makes a chance from the paper ones) that were just the right colors.
I hope you like her and be sure to keep checking at From The Heart Stamps as Faith is adding new images all the time and they really are so much fun to color.
