Wow, how beautiful and very special. You were so creative with your lily of the valley. The little beads make such wonderful flowers. Smiling because I added a ladybird to mine too...I'll see if I have time to upload it before work but I need to leave early this morning.

How very clever of you to create your own special Lily of the Valley! I was just thinking that out of all my flower stamps and dies I have none of those! This is a truly special card, Anita.
I lived reading about the tradition in France and the history behind it.

Oh my Anita....what an absolutely lovely card. I love your stitched lillies of the valley. Eleanor will treasure this, I'm sure. And, coming all the way from France, she's going to think she got somebody else's mail.

Another beauty. Love how you have used the beads. I can almost smell the Lily of the Valley flowers. They smell so good. Sure to put a smile on Eleanor's face.
