Lynn, I hope you had a wonderful day as Her Royalness! You are so kind with your comments and I would be embarrassed to let you know just how many of your cards are in my favs. There was no way that I could do all the piercing from the card that I CASEd without it looking like a wall full of buckshot so I kind of took an easier route. I can't attain the elegance of your card so I just made a little notecard. Here's the one that I attempted allee's WT220 by allee's at Splitcoaststampers
Gloomy and dark as usual in Michigan so the lighting is kinda sad

Buckshot? Are you kidding or what, sweet girl? This card is everything that clearly defines the word elegant. Oh, I see you've scored the bg panel and added it with some new nesties. you go, girl. Not that you've asked, but let me just assure you ~ you've been gone way too long as far as I'm concerned. This is a gorgeous card, Christine.

This is gorgeous! I had to laugh at your buckshot comment! This nestabilities die is so perfect with the flower in the center. TFS!

Oh, this is absolutely gorgeous!! What a great CASE of Lynn's striking original. I love how you used that fancy die cut frame, and the scored panel behind your lovely flower is so classy. You picked up the delicate colors from your DP so nicely. A wonderful package all around!! Lovely work

perfect texture and dimension, Christine! And such eye popping appeal.
I can't image all that piercing of the original, though you have translated it wonderfully. I especially like the combination of small and large elements. YOU go girl!!!
