Our new Queen is Nancy aka nwilliams6. I am so happy for her to be crowned. She is a punchkateer friend and an Alabama pal. Nancy is always giving out cheer and fun. Besides, she has a wonderful gallery.
This is the card I cased: Fairy Tale ... Love by nwilliams6 at Splitcoaststampers
Hope it resembles it as I have fought a lot with this card. Had too much orange, couldn't get my sentiment to look the way I wanted, and on and on.
I made a flower as Nancy often does (she can make beautiful blossoms), added some greenery and used a Shapeabilities Floral Doily Motif to stamp the sentiment on as my paper was too busy to stamp directly onto it.
Have a fun reign, my friend.

Benzi, this is wonderful. Oooh, that flower is gorgeous and the collage feel of the card is wonderful. Love the birds and sentiment punch. I know Nancy, our precious punchie and sister (Ann), will love this. I'm trying to get to one of hers as we speak!

Benzi! I am so glad you got to play even though DH is off! What a fun handmade blossom and I love the 'flies and fun shape for the sentiment. Orange is one of my fav colors for cards right now (surprised you used it given your addition to Crimson - LOL!). This is a special case and thanks for the sweet comments. Hugz to you Prez and Bama-sister!!!!!
