Flowers for stencilling- What simple-to-draw flowers compliment strands of ivy?

The thing is, I painted the ivy already up top in the room. So, I'm looking for a dainty little flower... Morning Glories may do (I'm not a huge flower person, but I'd like to be authentic)... but I'm using purple or maybe dusty rose (color) in the room.


Any simple flower that looks good with ivy will do!


Thanks!

This site has three photos that might work for you. The columbine, the fairy bells or the lewisia. http://www.aldodson.com/plants_section.h...





Another vining flower that lends itself to stenciling are the clematis. I think the viticellas or the texensis would be the ones to look at first. 'Gravetye Beauty' or 'My Angel'

Here's some vine %26amp; flower designs:

The Wisteria Stencil would be nice if you're using purple.


The Mini Roses Stencil or morning glory would be simpler.
