A Happy Hello

Normally, I don't use many pre-printed papers, but when my friend Carol gifted me with a pack of absolutely gorgeous floral beauties, I couldn't resist . . .

I had fun with the coloring on the flowers, applying the colors first and then blending with a water brush.  On some of the flowers, I worked the water brush a little too long and it began to rough up the paper.  The results were blooms with a slightly textured surface.   It looks really neat in real life!
