Retro Blooming In{k}spiration

What a lovely match-up for this week's Retro Sketch #127 and In{k}spire Me's #159!
When I see this kind of color array, it's hard not to think immediately of the totally awesome Flower Patch stamp set - so crazy versatile and easy to use!  It totally feels like cheating, but it's also SO easy to make "home-made DSP" with it, too.  And of course, the matching framelit set is just the jewel in the crown at that point...  I loved translating this sketch into the a "Flower Patch" - gorgeous!
Flower Patch Stamp Set; Whisper White, Smoky Slate & Pear Pizzazz CD; Soft Sky, Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Flower Fair & Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits; Basic Jewel Pearls.
