How special is it that our Brenda Dearest AKA Benzi is chosen as Queen? Her Royal Highness has such a wonderful elegant style and is warm, funny and a joy to the SCS community. I hope that you take a few moments to go through her splendid gallery and take in the loveliness...and find a special card to CASE too. I chose this one: Stampin B, Peace by Benzi at Splitcoaststampers
Stamped the main image from Flourishes Butterflies and Blossoms on Vanilla CS in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. Highlighted around the images with 00 color Copics, then sponged with Pale Plum, Perfect Plum and Concord Crush. Stitched the panel to a piece of Kioshi, then matted with DP from my stash. MS Punched more Vanilla and ran a piece of plum ribbon around, attached to image panels. Adhered all to a Lovely Lilac card. Stamped the sentiment on more Kioshi; punched with scalloped oval punch and matted with a wide oval punch of Serendipity violet. Added pearls decorated the inside with vanilla and Washi tape and done. PT - 4
Benzi, enjoy your reign as Queen. Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day and Easter season.
