TrishG has kindly taken the reins of the Queen for the Day challenge, A BIG thanks to you, Trish!! She named Karen Dunbrook as the Queen for this week. OMG, if there was any stamper so deserving, it is Karen. She spends untold hours every Sunday personally notifying anyone whose card has been chosen as a "CAS Favorite of the Week". This is really a huge task! Not only that, but she creates the most wonderful CAS cards that leave me in awe.....AND takes time to leave kind and encouraging comments on others cards regularly. What a gal!!
I chose THIS CARD of hers to CASE. I used her circle as my sun, changed the image, and used a strip of black paper instead of ribbon.
Enjoy your week in a very special spotlight, Karen. I'm thrilled for you!

This is a gorgeous tribute to Karen! Wow, what a sun you've created. Just the way you made this scene with minimal elements but maximum impact shows us what a great eye you have. Love this.

Yours is a lovely card! And so's your tribute to Karen. Nice! I also like your use of a strip of CS instead of ribbon. I think it's totally more appropriate here than ribbon, and the accent to the scene is lovely. Beautiful card.
