This is my card in honor of this week's Queen For The Day, Cindy (Mothermark). I was so happy to see Cindy crowned Queen! There is no one more deserving! Cindy's gallery is full of outrageously creative designs and she has the biggest heart! Cindy is always so encouraging with her comments and she tirelessly organizes RAKs for those who need a little extra lift! Most recently, she added the Destination Station to our beloved tea parties so even more people would be recipients of some very special RAKS.
It was very intimidating to choose one of Cindy's creations to CASE. Most I wouldn't even be able to figure out how she made them! I went with this gorgeous Christmas card that I've had in my favorites for ages: Charlene's Christmas Challenge by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the basic layout and colors and cardinal theme, but changed the stamp set, the ribbon treatment and the placement of the snowflakes.
Thanks for the excellent choice of Queen, Anne, and huge congrats to you, Cindy, on being crowned Queen! Enjoy your reign!

Carla, this is stunning. I love the red, green and gold. The cardinal is beautifully done. Love the flower and your punched border. This is a perfect combination of elements and is absolutely gorgeous.
