This week's Queen is DawnL. I have been an admirer of Dawn's for some time. If you have not checked out her gallery - you really need to do so. The card of Dawn's I chose to case is this one:
Because Dawn's gallery is so large I decided to start from the back, and I am so glad I did. I changed the color scheme, the image, the sentiment, added ribbon and a flower. I colored the butterflies and the watch faces with Copic Markers, then sponged around the edge of the tag and sentiment.
A dear friend of mine came over this weekend and gave me a "throw" that was identical to one I had. Why? I have 2 Queen Anne Chairs, and I had one throw over one. She had told me she had one identical and for 8 years it sat in a drawer - so she was going to give to me so I would have matching Queen Anne Chairs So I created this card to thank her. I hope she likes it. I know I sure like my matching chairs now
Thanks so much to Dawn for the inspiration. Thanks to you for stopping by and looking. Hope you like it too

Barb, what a lovely thank you for your thoughtful friend. I'm sure she will treasure it....and probably saves ALL the cards you give her! : ) It is also a beautiful CASE of Dawn's card and a lovely way to honor her. Beautiful colors and coloring with a wonderful collage image and DP.

You did wonders with this card Barb. I love the color combo as the blues pop off the browns but in a more subtle way. Love that image too. What a great card to case from Dawn's fabulous gallery!
