My card is also for Papertrey Ink's "Make-It-Monday #279" which is "curved sentiments" by Ashley Cannon Newell.
This will be a Mother's Day card for my aunt who has been a surrogate mother to me for the last 33 years and is very dear to our family. Lilies-of-the-Valley were my grandmother's(her mother) and my mother's favorite flower.

Your Lily of the Valley is beautiful! That's the May flower (my birthday month)...I have heard that they smell really pretty too,,,I have never seen them in real life.
Beautiful water coloring as you always do, you are amazing!

I love Lilies of the Valley too, when I was young my mother often wore a perfume with that scent and I remember the drawing on the boxes of soap she also used to use. What a beautiful card for your aunt, she will really appreciate the extra personal touch of using a favourite flower.

Sallie,
I really love lilies of the valley also it used to grow under a big plum tree where we lived when I was young! You did an outstanding job on the shading of these wonderful flowers!
