Thanks for the fun challenge, Jeanne....This is also for the Queen For the Day #108 challenge to honor my friend, Charlene (LiLuvsStampin)....Congrats, girlie!!!!! Charlene is such a fabulous artist and she is sooo dirty!! (SCS Dirty Girl, that is...LOL!!) I chose Charlene's Art of Life Window to case....I kept the same basic layout but didn't make a window. The colors are similar but I added the orange, and I used inchies instead of one image. My inchies were made by stamping the Rubbernecker Weed #497-05 image and then cutting it into 1 inch squares. The Rubbernecker French Script background was stamped over the image using Sahara Sand ink. A flower embossing folder was used to add a little texture to the background and orange gingham ribbon, twine, and a button finish it off. TFL!!

Love how you turned the window into inchies - great spin on the Queen's card - and a great way to honor her this week!

Hi, Joanie!!! It's great to see your smiling face and delicately beautiful card in the QFTD gallery today! Those have got to be the prettiest "weeds" I've seen, using the pink and orange together. I've always loved the look of script stamping blended with the main image, too. Beautiful card!! I'm so glad we've been on teams together and gotten to know one another better. You are an inspiration to me, dear lady. Thank you, thank you!!!
