Trish chose Julia(Crafty Julia) as our Queen for this week. Julia has a distinctive and an inimitable style that I would find difficult to imitate. Her sense of collage has an artistic bent. She also is one to leave comments on so many others cards and participates in many, many challenges.
I chose this CARD for my inspiration. My card has a simpler look in different colors and composition, but does feature an item of clothing as in Julia's original.
Congratulations, Julia. Enjoy your reign.

I love your sweater so cute and it looks so real with the paper you selected! And the little holly corsage reminds me of my mom! She always wore one at Christmas!
