True Love Designer Series Paper - Black & White

Have you seen the True Love Designer Series Paper in the new 2021 Spring Mini Catalog?  I LOVE IT.  I colored in the flowers with the Pool Party Dark Blend and the leaves with the Light Smoky Slate Blend and the I cut out the flower.  I used a 1" x 5 1/2" strip of the DSP for the black & white accent on the left.  The "thinking of you" sentiments is from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.
