I'm a little later than I hoped with this card in honor of our Queen Judi, but what a choice we had - so many beautiful cards to admire and be inspired by! Hope you're enjoying your week, Judi, you're a fantastic artist and very encouraging to your fellow stampers!
I did the embossing and piercing for this card at a local stamp class but this is Judi's card which inspired me as I put it all together:
The layout and color combo is different but I kept the flower theme. The main panel was cut with Nesties and sponged with Versamagic ink while still in the die. I added a small strip of ribbon and lace and moved the flower over, adding half pearls

Bridget, I love your awesome caseing! There is alot of paper piercing and I admire you just for that! Love the blue too. Cool embossing too. Thanks for sharing and for honouring our sweetie pie Queen Judi. xo
Where do I start?! This is such a gorgeous card. I love all the wonderful details - the background texture, the colors, the sponging, the extra special paper piercing, the flower. It's just a beautiful card.

Love that embossing highlighted with the PIERCING - such an awesome look!! I can understand why you wanted to use it for the BG of this card - the little daisies with the pearls in the center - just so simply perfect on the top note die!! into my favorites, Bridget!!
