Jenn, the new hostess for the QFTD Challenge, selected Trish to be the Queen for this week. Not only does Trish have a wonderful gallery, but she has given YEARS to this challenge single-handedly as hostess. I chose this CARD of hers with its simple layout and wide frame around her main image. I made it into a square card and used a DP rather than embossing a bg. I also added a sentiment.
F4A237 = apple(s)
A BIG HUG and CONGRATS, Trish....a most deserving honor.

WOW! This one is a masterpiece! Sally you are truly an artist! I am amazed at your no line coloring and that apple is perfect! Mine look a lot like tomatoes the last time I did them. I can't think of a more beautiful way to honor Trish!

Oh, I love this fresh look!!! The blue checked DP frame adds a wonderful freshness, and the bursts of white add to this. The inner focal frame of the PSX image was colored with pure brilliance. WONDERFUL!!! Into my favorites it goes... What amazing artistry you have, thank you for teaching me so much!

Absolute beautiful watercoloring, Sallie! Another picture-perfect painting. What a nice tribute to Trish! I didn't get the auto-notification as I have b4 so I didn't know there was a QFTD this week. Glad to read it in your description.

I'm gonna miss Trish!...she always sent a reminder! Thankfully, I had to open this work of heart to check it out and read your description. This is another beauty that needs a frame....and hung in a kitchen to look at every day. Awesome!

Oh, Sallie, this is stunning to say the least. You have become a master of watercoloring. The colors are wonderful, and that Apple has such a sheen to it. I would certainly consider framing this, as it is truly a work of art :-)
