Congratulations to Dawn (dawnmercedes) on being selected the Queen for the Queen for the Day challenge this week! I don't know if she remembers me, but I have had the pleasure of meeting Dawn. It was several years ago at a Michigan Mingle gathering. Therefore, I just had to take some time this evening to case one of her fabulous cards. I chose Dawn's pretty Broken Lawn Mower card. I was drawn to how she stamped the sentiment over the pretty grass image and her use of the flowers in the corner with pearl centers.
Things I changed:
1. sketch layout
2. colors
3. placed my Primas across top of image panel
4. added purple rhinestones within the stamped image
Have a fun week enjoying your crown, Dawn!
