Congratulations, Dina on the well deserved honor of being Queen. Fist I have to say your gallery is gorgeous, but also very scary to think I had to case one of your cards. Whew! I picked out a lot and finally settled on this one to case in your honor.
I LOVED your stairway and made one of my own with punched blocks, but then added Spellbinders leaves for a tribute to fall which is just around the corner.
I love your ART and look forward to seeing more of it. Keep up the good work, Dina.

Your muted colors catch my eye every time! What a brilliant case of her card! I would not know where to begin casing her incredible art! Love the leaves on this and the added embossing for texture!

Carol, I spotted this as a thumb underneath somebody else's card and clicked through to follow up on it. I loved the block layout and the contrast between the textured and patterned leaves. I'm still only ready for autumn in the gallery - although it's turned so cold here this last week that I think I'll be packing my sandals away at the weekend, sigh...

Ohh, I love the layering with the leaves and the blocks! I saw so many quilts yesterday at a fair display, and was really inspired by several of the designs and the ways fabric artists mix patterns and color to create ombre effects and piecings. Thank you for your kind words, and for venturing into my gallery! xo
