Fleur de Lis Challenge


I decided the arch shape would be perfect for a fleur de lis piece. I was very happy when I saw how well my POD fleur de lis fit in the point and the smaller one made a nice border along the bottom. The side border is my favorite flourish from inkadinkadoo bought at Jo-Ann's, I think. The image is a contact paper transfer from another Nell's mother, Penny. Alpha is HA.
Thanks for looking!

Hey, I recognize that image! It's from card showing a detail from "Spring," an 1895 painting by Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Perfect for the arch shape and the fleurs. Perfect name, too, but you knew I'd say that... ;)

What an excellent idea, to do a collage in the arch shape, and use fleur-de-lis as a background element. It looks like a tapestry.

sorry, tried to edit my comment, but managed only to delete it, lol
