Paint the roses

I love Cath Kidston fabric, it's so pretty and so girly (something I really aren't in real life so it's a bit strange that I'm so attracted to it!).  One thing I've coveted for a while is a rose covered Cath Kidston oilskin satchel but to be honest I have so many handbags (certified Radley addict here) that I think one more may push my poor long suffering husband over the edge.

I decided to try and recreate the pattern of Provence Rose fabric by Cath Kidston, and this is the result.

The beautiful base coat is Models Own Jade Stone, a gorgeous colour which I'm sad to say I have completely overlooked in my collection.  The white accents and roses are all acrylic paint.
