Gothic Arch -- Little Girls

Here is my contribution to the Gothic Arch challenge this week for "little girls."
I used a mask and some of the new spray by Maya Road to create my swirl background on some old book text. I then added a strip of vellum and an image that was offered as a freebie (but I can't for the life of me find the link). I added a strip of my favorite butterfly vellum as well.
To all those who are moms as well as those remembering their moms today -- Happy Mother's Day!
