This card is in honor of this weeks Queen - the one and only BENZI aka Brenda. I had very little time to stamp this weekend with Mom visiting and all (luckily she takes daily naps LOL) so I was able to make some time!
Benzi - I love your gallery!! I love your design style, and have so many favorites of yours. Thank you for sharing your beauties with us - and for all your very sweet (and sometimes very hilarious) comments on my cards!! I went looking for a CAS card because you have so many beauties in this category - and found one that is a true masterpiece: {QFTD47 New Home}
Changes were with stampset, colors, ribbon and flower, sentiment and pearls. I kept it to one layer though!!
The elements of style was stamped, then colored using markers and pencils. The ribbon goes around to the inside so the ends are in the front - and are held together using the metal strand from the flower. This card is made with SU! textured vanilla and is 6" high - so the inside panels are reinforced with Very Vanilla to ensure the card will stand straight!!
CONGRATULATIONS again Benzi!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks everyone for taking a peek!
Happy Easter Hugs,
Audrey

Well, look at this masterpiece now, would you?? That Elements of style never looked better and your ribbon and flower at the top REALLY tied this one in - then you go and do your "thang" with the stamp and pearls on the bottom and blow everyone away!
(But Benzi is SO worth it!)

This is just magnificent with those beautiful orange blooms and that knock-em-out dazzling ribbon! I love all the greenery and bling, and Benzi will just LOVE this one!

Audrey, this is beautiful. The flower matches the flowers in your stamped image. And I love the pearls around the sentiment and in the corners. Lovely touch. You did Benzi proud

Audzi you chose one of my favorite cards Benzi has ever made... and did a gorgeous CASE of it! Love your colors, especially the way that they show on the textured CS. Beautiful pearl work and the bow and flowers. Wonderful card!

Hey this is looking good dear AudreyAnn. What a beautiful way to use these flowers, with the rose up there, it looks like it's part of the branch falling naturally on the card. WOW! Fine case! TFS

Hey, I like taking naps, too! (when I get time to do so...)
Love your card for The Benz...it's beautiful the way that sprig of flowers dangles from the bow.

OMG, I am feeling very royal with this beauty. Even the sentiment and corners are sooooo elegant. LOVE that image and gorgeous, striped ribbon. A little birdie must have told you I am loving orange. Bought some orange brad/gems over the weekend to use when I get around to doing some orange delights.
The image, your rose, and the textured papers are awesome. You cased one of my favorite cards, too.
I'm sorry to be so late commenting. Had a wonderful out-of-town trip.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for case-ing one of my cards.
I must feel more 'royal' than our Pamzi ever did. Impossible!!!! LOL
Mom is there? Tell her hi.
