So sorry to be late to Queen Wanda's party. I love her polished style (who doesn't?) and inspiration. I chose this card to CASE: **Wanda's Favorite** CTSEPT by cullenwr at Splitcoaststampers
This birthday card is in the mail to the lovely young woman that I hope will one day be my daughter-in-law. I kept the basic sketch, flipping a couple of layers. Sponged the embossed panel lightly with Memento Desert Sand. Handmade the flower with SU and MS punches and a Nestie, adding liquid pearls to the centers of the mini blossoms. Painted the leaf flourish here and there with Old paper crackle paint. Added a bigger bow, tying the senti tag with floss. Scored and sanded the Core'dinations CS. PT - 18
Wanda, do not construe my rudeness in being late with lack of respect (and awe) for your talent thanks so much for your inspiration. Remember once a Queen, always a Queen. Thanks so much for looking and have a peaceful day.
