 | | oh, what fun I had in this weeks Queen for the Day challenge!!! Thanks Trish for bringing the spotlight on ravengirl, Toni. I don't know how others go about selecting a card to case, but I always like to begin at the very beginning and slowly go through their gallery to see how their styles have evolved through time. However this time I stopped dead in my looking at ravengirl's very first upload.....for you will see, she and I used the VERY same stamp for our 1st uploads!!! How could I not case her card?????
So it is with honor that I present my tempting joy card. I dug out the SU Balmy Breezes set, chocolate chip and crumb bake papers for Wendy's F4A101 challenge Chocolate Cake and Graphic 45's new Tropical Travel papers. I kept the layout out the same as Toni's and used that big~o~wonderful palm tree. I also used tiny tropical shells, fish, star and sea horse PAINSTAKINGLY strung onto cord and hand knotted to stay in place. I used staples as on my 1st upload, embossed the elephant 'stamp' in the top corner, added a JOY metal sentiment I glittered ages ago, it was perfect for today. Also tied another tiny transparent shell over the 'O".
Thank you so much, Trish and Toni for the renewed inspiration. Like I said in my original card, that went to my BFF, 4 years ago...this card will be slipped in the mail to her once again, though now she is living in India and we'll be on the shores of a new tropical paradise come this September.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. And thanks so much for the gift of your comments. |
