Whenever I see lily of the valley I think of my DD Sarah Frances as her birthday is May 18th and here in StamPford that is about when they bloom. When she was little I would always have a bouquet of them for her on her special day.
For the inspiration challenge of today. I was very literal in my interpretation of the inspiration piece, a bit unusual for me. I stamped floral in black craft ink and clear embossed. I added the rectangle sentiment. the sunburst brads are colored with my gold paint pen and I edged with the gold paint pen as well. Thanks for looking!
