For Inspiration Challenge IC453, I was inspired by this Vintage Brown Suitcase that displays a photo and a ruffled doily scarf.
I stamped my image and then distressed the edges before mounting it on a scalloped black rectangle. Added a doily behind the image and a strip of some dp that reminds me of flocked wallpaper that used to hang in everyone's house! Added some bakers twine and some paper flowers to finish it off.

I love this! Your half doiley really makes a statement, your flower is gorgeous! I love the twine and the image is perfect! I also love the way you cut the bottom of the bg paper!
