Oooooo! Patsmethers you reign supreme as Queen for the Day! I have been cruising your gallery all weekend trying to settle on a card to case. I must admit to being intimidated casing you, my dear. You've got more talent wrapped up in the tip of your pinky than I do in my entire body, and I keep expecting to find your pretty smiling face in the Dirty Dozen gallery soon! Your cards are always a work of the "heart," even if you do try to act like you're all naughty or sumpin'. But we know what a big heart you have. Sooooo, I just had to case one of your sweet HM cards, and I especially love this darling Fly Away one you did.
I just had to pull out my adorable li'l teddy bear and pair him up with these big balloons. After all, he needs some big balloons to help him lift off!
I paper pieced my balloons and colored teddy with Copic markers. I sponged Soft Sky, Barely Banana, and Mellow Moss on the background.
I used my notched corner punch and threaded pink embroidery thread around that.
I keep praying that Stampin' Up will bring back permanently some of the In Colors they've introduced these past few years. I especially love the softness of Pink Pirouette and Soft Sky.
In any event, CONGRATULATIONS, Pat on being Queen for the Day! You're one of the bestest!!

Oh, Wow, Charlene this is just darlin', girl. I love that image and I'm especially taken by that fabulous sponging you did to really highlight the image! Plus, I see you're getting a little fancy schmancy with your corners. Your pink twine is marvelous, dahling!

Charlene, this is the best! I think Pat's gallery is a bit intimidating too. To me, yours is too. I love what you did her. That cool corner punch w/ floss is way cute. and that cuddly teddy bear is adorable , so well colored. Love those paper peiced balloons too. This is a honorable card for the Queen.

Beautiful little bear card Charlene. Love the background, isn't Pat the Queen of scenes, I should add Tender Loving Care scenes. Yours is well inspired my friend, I could just hug that bear and you and Pat and everybody! Love it. TFS and for playing that oh so fun game Anne started.
