Here is what I came up with. I used a computer-generated excerpt from The Secret Garden as my background, colored the roses with Distress inks, and couldn't resist adding the pearls, as this is so feminine.

Pastel roses
Jacqueline pointed out this inspiration challenge at Stamping Around. I was drawn to the beautiful roses in her basket. They are just the colors I love: pinks and apricots.
