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!

My stars, Lady! This is pure perfection! I love the lavender tones with gold. Such a pretty color combo. The butterfly is just too darn pretty, too! Oh...I just noticed you even dressed up the envelope. Great idea!
