Just like I hoped

It's very rare that I buy stamps with a clear vision of how I intend to use them, but these stamps from SweetStamps just called out to me.  The roses fit perfectly around an oval focal point, and I thought that the vintage lady looked perfect with them.

 The ovals were cut with a new Little Stackers die set I just bought.  The set contains 6 dies in the sizes I would actually use for making cards, with less than a half inch difference between each die - this makes it possible to layer them without huge borders (the one thing I hate about spellbinders dies).  My copic coloring still needs work, but you really can't mess up roses; they are a naturally messy flower.

So, what I have here is a nice card that has fussy details while still being nice and flat for easy mailing.  I think this will be good with red and purple for my Red Hat friends, too.
