The Queen for the Day #68 is Roxie aka Rox71. I found this beautiful card I wanted to case and I used fruit instead of flowers and made my own mat because I didn't have time to cut out my image or do an out-of-box using a die cut that was smaller than my image. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...p;ppuser=23790
The fruit image I'm using is Rubber Stampede, I believe. I think it is an ebay order and I have no name for the image. If anyone knows and will let me know, I'll post it. It looks like peaches, so I colored it that way and then popped up the image.
Instead of stamping my black and white border, I used a chipboard border my sister had given me. I thought it was perfect. My punched border is English Ivy by EK Success.
I'm entering this card into a few other challenges found on my blog.
Roxie, I hope you are enjoying your time as Queen. I'm a little late as I have had visitors this weekend.

I can almost feel the juice dripping down my chin as I bite into one of these yummy looking peaches. Very cheery and uplifting card - it's a dreary and cool day today so it's a welcome sight. Of course, we plan to hitch up the trailer and spend a couple of days camping this week, hence the icky weather around here. Good news for ya though - I have that punch. You don't need to send it to me. :) RYPH! Hugz.

Benzalina, it must give you good mojo when family in town as this is sooooo BEAUTIFUL. LOVE the crisp colors, beautiful peaches and the borders - ooh la la - YUMMO! Hey, since I'm half British, you need to send me the English Ivy Border Punch. There's so much you owe me. I'm sure it will all come in the mail this week along with the card I chose you to send me!!! Hope all is well. I just finished my QFTD card - whew!! Hugs!
