Was able to stamp again this morning and COULD NOT wait to get caught up on the QFTD challenges! Last week's queen was Clownmom aka Lois - she is such an inspiration and talent here at SCS that it's an honor to CASE one of her beauties.
Lois - thank you for sharing your beautiful stamping and crafting with all of us! Thank you too for your kind comments left on my cards - I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to your gallery!!
I chose several cards to CASE, but this one won out - Here's Lois's amazing card: {Ruche Buttons}
Changes were with layout, colors, added stitching, ribbon, buttons, sentiment and Nesties.
The image is stamped in Craft black then clear-embossed and cut out. The skirting is colored using markers. The sentiment is also embossed, and the black lines on the crumb cake panel is my attempt at curvy stitching. Hopefully I'll do better next time LOL!
This card is for the founder of the Punchiez, Pam124 aka Pamzi aka Twinzi, who has stated on numerous occasions that her birthday is the 14th of every month. Rather than make a birthday card I made a thank you card - to say Thank You for understanding if I'm unable to keep up with all your birthdays LOL!!! It's also to say thank you for the wonderful friendship - it is a blessing to me.
I wanted to use the sentiment 'You're a Cut-up' as that would be so appropriate for the Pamzi, but decided to go with 'A stitch in time...' instead since it just fit better on this card.
Luv ya Pamzi - Bellzi and Fritzi say Hi to their Autzie :-)!!!!
Thanks everyone for looking!
Lois - hope you ENJOYED your reign as QUEEN!!
Hugz,
Audrey aka Audzi

Great colors on this pretty thank-you to Pamzi. I didn't realize she believed her birthday was every month - best to humor her though. This is a wonderful card for Pamzi - you know how she loves the pearls and yours are wonderful on this card. Beautiful creation - she will cherish it!

OMG Audzi, you finally came through for ME!! A birthday card that turned into a thank you card that turned into me possibly losing my buttons. Dizzi always says I've lost my marbles when I display marbles on my photo shoots and a fruitflake when I use snowflakes. There's no getting around these kind of comments when your name is The Fruitcake!! Audzi, my twinzi, I can't believe I'm gonna have this beauty in my own lil' Fruitcake hands soon. I will gaze and gaze among the beauty of it. It's almost as good as when I look in the mirror at myself - NOT!
This is really incredible and I can't figure out what I like most -the nestie, the beautiful dress that I'm sure would fit with my slim figure and all, the buttons and stitching not to mention the sentiment. Girl, you are spoiling me rotten, but guezz we have to catch up on cardz since we just found out we were twinziz 9 months apart! Tell Momzi, Markzi, Fritzi and Bellzi I said HI!!!! BEAUTIFUL work my talented twin!

Ohh Audzi!! Lovely card! I especially love all of the buttons, being a rather big button fan! ;) Hmmm - that sentiment for Pamzi - I would have gone with your are such a cut up - because she is!!! ;) Lovely colours with your main image and nicely framed! Great job with this set!

Bellzi and Fritzi??????? Are those names Pamzi made up to try to make me jealous...sounds like it. Oh, I think I know who they are..your dog children. Pam has renamed them. She is always trying to change all our names.
And, Pam says I am 90 yrs. old. I sure don't have a birthday every month so what does that make her???!!!!!! She thinks I won't be around much longer but I'm thinking it will be her. Oh, that crazy woman.
Just the same, this is a super duper job with this card. Yes, it is spectacular. Don't let Pam know I love your card so much...she'll be green with envy. Shhh...
