Miss Ida May heard about the distress in Kettle Valley and knew she needed to come to their rescue. She is the chairman of the flower competition in Whykickamoocow and what is a May Day celebration without flowers?
So she has flown in all the way from Australia to help out. The flower that is the focal point for Kettle Valley is a rare form of forget me not, dark blue with a design on it, a white opalescent center and Miss Ida May knows just what to do with it: garlands and garlands of these unusual flowers. Elley, Trish and Jessie are so relieved and happy to have Miss Ida May help. Oh and by the way, Whykickamoocow decided to elect Miss Ida May as chair of the flower competition because, that way, she cannot compete any longer. She always wins!
Several pre-made backgrounds went into this. The front panel is made from alcohol ink on a gel plate using regular cs and the inside panels are the shaving cream and DOx reinkers. I hadn't had a chance to do Sabrina's fold technique a week ago and I have to say, this was the easiest fold I've ever done and I love it. The best thing about folds, in MHO, is that you can tell a story and use lots of images.
So thanks for reading the story of Kettle Valley's May Day celebration and how Miss Ida May Chapman came to the rescue.

Marvelous backgrounds and love that children's parade silhouette...perfect for the Kettle Valley parade! Your rare "forget me not" flower banner is a super nice finishing touch to this richly colored card.
