Trish chose Dina as the Queen for this week. Dina is an artist with a CAPITAL A. Her artistry and use of various techniques is beyond compare....and she shares it all with the SCS community weekly. My card is not a CASE of any one of her cards.....that is beyond me, but a card to honor her using some of the techniques that she might in her mixed media art.
The F4A theme was "The World is Your Oyster"...and I did it literally. I cheated a bit with an image printed right off the computer...NO drawing or coloring on my part. The only thing I added to the image was Glossy Accents to the world "pearl". I have no immediate use for this card, but it could work for a college graduate who is about to go out into the world beyond academia.

This is not cheating. This is a brilliant use of an image that works for the challenge! Your modeling paste background combined with Mr Huey's is such a wonderful background! You have honored her beautifully with your Mix techniques!

Ohhhh, you have no idea how I have treasured all your words this week - a hard week on other fronts that was truly made awesome by so many words of affirmation. I love your tiny universe card! Thank you.

What a fun card! I love that image you printed out and the stars are wonderful. You totally captured Dina's style and really captured the theme at F4A. I have got to get some modeling paste - I love your bg. You could use this card for so many things - promotions, the birth of a child, someone starting college or school - any year, someone who got their first real job, congrats on a certification (like CPA or the Nursing test, etc). Fab card. Hugz!
