Now, SPARKLE this one Phyllis! I made sure to stay up late on Friday night when I could have been partying - yeah, like that happens - instead I would not stop until I completed a card honoring your ROYAL STATUS!! I'll let you be royalty for a week, but then it's back to the ole regular life with the "lil' people". I, of course, will retain my princess-ship of the Royal Court 4-evah!!
I had the same hydrangea image that I colored ages ago and never used, so this was the exact perfect time to finally put it into action.
Let's see:
1. I added sparkly gold paper for the 2nd mat, sparkly stickles on the center of the flowers, sparkly gold brads sent to me in a BRAK from Benzi -thanks again Benz - and a gold embossed butterfly on vellum. The b/fly was embossed twice and lifted up on dimensionals with little gold pearls in the center. I colored the backs of them with lavender lace marker to give it a stained glass look to match the colors of the flowers. Oooh, and not to forget I used crystal effects and dazzling diamonds on the leaves. Nothing but sparkles for you Queenie!!
I added a ribbon, used the script ef and popped up the first layer, 2nd layer and image on dimensionals. And, of course, Phyllis' trademark of making a matching envelope. I'll have to keep workin' on that one Phyllis.
I hope you like this Queenie and enjoy your special week. You know I'm going to have to send this to you after sending that dud to you last time!! LOL!! I hope all that gold doesn't blind you. And, suffice it to say, all the gold is REAL GOLD that I removed from the Royal Vault. No faux anything for our Queen from Da Princess. However, you do have to return the gold after your royal week is up.
Thanks Anne for picking such a fun and talented person. Loved going through your whole gallery Phyllis ole buddy ole pal!!
Thanks for taking a look and have a great weekend!

Ooh, sparkle for sparkleplenty! Love all this beauty. What a great case. Of course, without my brads, where would this card be??? I am really eyeing that gorgeous butterfly you made. Reminds me of reddyisco's 'flies.
Just gorgeous. And, a beautiful envie to match. I meant to make one of those for my card and forgot...senility setting in, I know..don't say it. Phyllis is for sure lovin' this creation!!!!

OMG - this is a beautiful hydrangea and the colors are goregous. The little butterfly is sweet. First of all, my hydrangeas don't look like this - could you send a couple of these my way. Secondly, my butterflies aren't as attractive as yours - could you also load a few of those up with the hydrangeas??!! Great card!

Ahhh, Pamzi, someone's been having happier days this week - wonder whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???
Regal coloring for the new Queen, Phyllis, evident in theflower, but the bling is so totally overwhemingly gorgeous, had to get a pair of shades out to view it for more than 10 seconds (and there is so much to see here) Almost missed the EF in the BG because of this #$%^&*( laptop I am forced to work on till I gethome - BUT it is very effective, topped by the ribbon and peARLS I will be so glad to get home and work on my LARGE SCREEN MONITOR- I am slowly going blind people!!
Great job by da princess on the QUEENS card
