Bold & Bright or Soft & Gentle?

I have another pair of cards to share today...this time featuring a large floral background stamp that I picked up in a charity shop recently. I've Googled and Googled, but I can't find out what make the stamp is or what it's called...so if anybody recognises it, please leave me a comment! ***Edited to say a big 'thank you' to Michele for letting me know that the stamp is called 'Sunkissed Fleur' by Heartfelt Creations***


I stamped it a couple of times on to watercolour paper...once each in black and grey. The coloured them using watercolour pencils...using bright colours on the one stamped in black, and more muted, pastel tones for the one stamped in grey. I distressed the edges a little, and added a sentiment to each, from the 'Go To Words' set by Visible Image, stamped in either black or grey.
