After die cutting the word, "happy", I used the technique featured on PTI's Make-It-Monday for "brush lettering". Used lilies-of the-valley since they are the May flower and were a favorite of my grandmother. This card is for my Aunt who is very dear to me.

The lily of the valley is gorgeous. It is my favorite flower! I love the pretty artsy look of this card and how the sentiment doesn't take away from the lovely artwork. TFS!

Geez, the shading is impeccable! It's so perfect it appears to be a photograph! Each little blossom is perfectly highlighted too! Your aunt will be ecstatic to get this lovely work of art!

Absolutely gorgeous. I need that image - he he. Beautifully coloured. I am in the process of raiding my Mum's garden to bring home some more little bulbs of lily of the valley to plant out - as I just love their old fashioned perfume.

Love the soft beautiful colors with accents of gold, Sallie. This will become a treasured keepsake, I'm sure!

Any Mom would be proud to receive this card. You really did a great job with the lilies of the valley. They have always been a favorite flower of mine - they take me back to my childhood. But it is so hard to find a decent image - either stamp, die or digi.

Love the 3-D look of these Lilies of the valley - This is drop dead realistic - they seem to be popping off the card!!
