Love-ly Antique Paper Lace Valentine stencils kit but with its bold form

but with its bold form and drippy

with a bit of unevenness to the right edge and a bit of smudging/staining

with a "Gold Medal Hanger" mark

so lovely--and perhaps just the right inspiration for delivering tiny gifts in beautiful packages

as there is a concentration of dings right around the nose at center and a few more here and there

Just lovely. And I do believe it's always the right time for a valentine. With golden cut paper heart and hand colored (watercolored it looks to me) LOVE giving rise to an angel with butterfly wings emerging from the center
