Happy day everyone! And here is the card to go with the dress box for Charlene, reigning Queen for the Day this week. Yeah Charlene! You rock and you so deserve to be honored this week!
Charlene has always said very kind things about the metallic papers I so love to use, so I was sure to incorporate foiled and shimmery card stocks on this card.
Used Anna Griffin paper coupled with the shimmery Stardream Mars. The flower is from Petaloo which has been misted with Pssst! Shimmer Mist in Frost and then sponged lightly with Tsukineko Delicata Gold ink. The stickpin is hand made.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Fabulous paper - makes me think of wallpaper in big old houses. I feel there was a very similar colour scheme and feel like this in the drawing room in one house I worked in.

Oh, Miss M, I am so touched that you made a card, too! Yes, you know I love your use of the metallic papers. You always make them look so regal and elegant. I'm still hoarding a few of the beautiful papers you sent me! Wow! Every detail on this beauty is exquisite. I love the handmade stick pin. You are so kind, sweet, and generous!
