TrishG announced the queen this week to be: BarbieP! Barb has a wonderful gallery with so many different styles! There are GREAT vintage (that REALLY tempted me), some VERY CUTE, and lovely nature, just to name a few. I chose this card to case: Masculine B-day card by BarbieP at Splitcoaststampers
Yep, I went all the way back to Barb's second card on here. I really liked the design and thought I could use this digi I got from Stitchy Bear. Everything started out fine. But as I got going I realized I had made my digi too big. So I ended up cutting off some of the tail feathers. I was trying to make it small enough to use with one of my SB dies. But it never looked right. So I went for some Graphic 45 DP and figured that was fancy enough!!! The background is from the Old Curiosity Shop set and the border DP is Graphic 45 from the Tropical Travelogue collection.
Barb, I really enjoyed your gallery!!! I just may have to stop back by to case a vintage AND nature card of yours!!!

My, Kathleen, you did go way back in my gallery. This is absolutely stunning. Love the bg dp with your beautiful peacock. And your coloring is wonderful. Thank you so much for taking time to play along and casing one of my cards. I really appreciate it!

Kathleen, this is a beautiful peacock. And, that background paper is sooooo pretty. It's a super delish case of Barb's card.

Yikes, look at all those gorgeous feathers! Such pretty colors and coloring, Kathleen! I like the cs you chose, it really draws the eye inward to that pretty peacock!
