Yooohoooh ladies, did you what day it is? Well, it is Cathleen's Queen for the Day! Yes, my friends, Cathleen as we know her here CTORINA is our Queen for the Day/Week. I just think she is in a class of her own. Ribbons, gems, papers, you name it, they are no mysteries to her, she just whip all those elements up in gorgeous cards, I just stay in awe in front of my screen admiring them. Always generous in comments and encouraging words. Well Cathleen, seems you inspire me and a whole bunch of us. I know I am a huge fan. Chose this beautiful card, for the papers (there is my favourite colour to them lol) and the oval frame, simple and yet so eyecatching:
Dig that blue ribbon, don't you just love how it falls there like it was meant to be.
I did keep somewhat of the sketch, omitted the panel under the ribbon, moved the image to the right because my beautiful bohemian was looking to the left, looked weird on the left...wondered where she was looking...Anyway, this is my first card, I have another in the working so I will be back!
Cheers to our new Queen, or is it Hail the Queen! Wanna' join us, here is the thread for this fun game, intended to showcase our special stamper friends!
Also fits in the Crafty creations challenge for distressing, I did on the corners, just to give it a bit of a country feel:

Peggy, your Bohemian is fabulous! I can see why you moved your image to the other side. She would have been looking who knows where if you hadn't. A beauty for Cathleen!
