I fell in love with it, and knew I'd have to CASE it to honour her as my chosen Queen for last Friday's Queen for the Day (to chose a previous queen between E and I).
I kept Sally's general idea of sponging around a die cut mask, but changed the die she used to a different Memory Box one, and used more blue inks than she did. Sally had silver cord and ribbon on her card so I added some silver ribbon across the bottom as I'd placed my mask a bit too high and the bottom edge needed something to balance it. The sentiment is part of the die cut, and I sponged it in silver (similar to Sally's grey sentiment) to make it stand out more from the background colours.
It's also for the DTGD challenges by Fee, cullenwr, and Tenia Sanders Nelson, and for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge.
