Our 53rd Queen is kdunbrook. Karen is one of the best clean and simple card makers around. She also notifies everyone who gets a mention on the CAS Favorites Forum on Sundays. What a trooper! I chose to CASE Karen's "The Royal Garden" card: F4A51, The Royal Garden by k dunbrook at Splitcoaststampers
I just changed the stamps and embossing folders and the first embossed layer almost covers the whole card front, but I just embossed the top part in keeping with Karen's layout. My circle is a little smaller because I just used the 2-1/2" circle punch instead of any other kind of circle cutter. My butterfly isn't punched, but I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and used the smallest butterfly to fit with my image. Congratulations, Karen!! You sure do deserve this!!! Thanks for taking a peek!

What a beauty! The embossed bg is just gorgeous and so is the image. What a great card to honor Karen.

Gulp! CAS done to perfection!!! This card absolutely takes my breath away it's so beautiful. Love the layers of texture you've created with the embossed panels, and that you were brave enough to allow the image panel to go solo....I must try this after seeing your creation. TFS!
