Pat Smethers was chosen as Queen for the Day by Anne Ryan. I ADORE Pat and her gallery and was really wanting to tackle one of her masculine cards as they are just so superb; however, in order to get a card uploaded to her challenge before Friday, I opted for one of Pat's CAS creations which I think is just pure BEAUTY:
I ended up needed 2 more Easter cards for some people at church and I needed them FAST, so I thought this would the perfect card to case. It packs a lot of punch with a lot less details than I normally do.
I did one in pixie pink & white and the other in orchid opulence & white. I colored the centers with coordinating markers, added crystal effects on the color portions and then used my 2-way glue on each of the petals for the dazzling diamond effect on the white portions.
I used a different ef, added a little flower and pearl to the corners and added a sentiment with ribbon.
The first layer and both image spellbinders were popped up on dimensionals.
Pat, you are one of SCS fav stampers by far and I am SO HAPPY you were chosen for this very special day, or should I say, week!!! Your gallery is so spectacular and I always get such a pleasant surprise every time I visit.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and thanks Anne for selecting Pat for this special challenge!!
Have a wonderful Easter!!!

Pam these are glorious. Full of classic elegance and sophistication for Easter. You did a superb job. I love the pastel colors and the little flower in the corner. Great job my fellow Punchkateer.

Just gaw-geous, Pamz. Pat will love every inch of these beauties. Love all the dazzle on these flowers. I see you now have a Hydrangea punch. Will I be getting a duplicate? LOL I also don't believe I have that Labels 4, either.
I'll be by the mailbox. Seriously, your cards are scrumptious. I love them bunches and I'm sure Pat will be delighted.
