Toni aka Ravengirl is our Queen this week! I know what a talented stamper that she is and that she makes kind and observant comments. Though I have some of her cards in my favorites, this card stood out for me to CASE: Believe It Or Not by ravengirl at Splitcoaststampers
I loved the layout and color scheme so I kept that as is. Unlike Toni's brayered background mine is sponged. I changed the focal image and also heat embossed it. I used a single piece of iridescent thread to tie my coin into place, not the two pieces of ribbon Toni used and of course a different EF. Made my card taller than Toni's too. PT - 1 for the mask
Congratulations Toni, enjoy your reign. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Wow Marie! This is an awesome CASE of the Queen's card! Your sponged background is beautiful and that embossed silhouette image is just striking. Love that one simple coin embellishment...just perfect, my friend!

You've made a beauty here, MM. I love that sponging and the silhouette is beautiful against it.. What a peaceful looking place. The bamboo folder couldn't be more perfect.

Marie, this is really special. I love that super thin ribbon holding the coin in place. This card inspires a peaceful feeling just looking at it - now that takes some serious talent. Well done case SIS!

I really love this stamp, and I do so adore the way you have presented it.... The colors that you have chosen absolutely pop the image off the card.... Great!!!!!

Wow, what a great interpretation of Toni's card. Your sponging is perfection and your silhouette image and coin are spectacular. You did real good Marie. I just noticed the bamboo ef after reading Benzi'z comment. I was so entranced with the sponging and image, I didn't look at the white part of the card - silly fruitcake I am!
