Here's my take on the QFTD13 challenge. Lesley, aka Marleygo, is wearing the crown this week. And how deserving she is! Not only does she make fab cards, she is so thoughtful in her comments to others. Almost every card I post, Lesley comments with kind words. So although I am a few days late, I couldn't let the week go by without making a card in her honor.
I keep the same sketch. But I can see the affects of making my card over several days (I started Friday afternoon) has had on my adjustments. I hope you can still see Lesley's original in my card. And more importantly, I hope that Lesley likes it.
Supplies:
Stamps: Eastern Booms (SU!)
Paper: Cameo Coral, Ruby Red, Close to Cocoa, Vanilla
Ink: Cameo Coral, Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red
Accessories: Ribbon- 5/8"white organza (SU!), Button (stash), adhesive pearls (want2scrap)

What a fantastic idea to put the pearls in the button!! Love how you stamped the BG with one of the flowers, then put those gorgeous pearls on all the little flowers! This is a great card to honor one special lady, Lesley, who spreads happiness everywhere she goes on SCS!!
