A big congrats to Carol for being selected Queen for the Day. Carol, I haven't had the pleasure of visiting your gallery before, so this was a real treat.
I have these flower ef's and rarely use them, so when I saw this card, I thought, what a great way to use them for a change.
I changed out the color combo, used different dsp, added a little sparkle to the top flowers, then spritzed the whole card with gold glimmer mist. I rubbed the chocolate chip pad on the sides of each of the panels for a little extra color.
I had to take the photo on my counter again as I couldn't get the right lighting. It still isn't that great, but it will have to do after about 20 different photos!!
Thanks for taking the time to visit and, Carol, enjoy your very special week.
Punchkateer Tally: 2 punches used 9 times - daisy border punch used twice on front to make the double border, then once for inside; MS branch punch used 6 times! Now, I can go pig out. After all, it's a Friday night!
EDIT: Hey, I think this fits the F4A10 challenge to create a floral card!!

Howdy back to ya, Pamzi! Now, I am loving this beautiful card in brown and vanilla. I spotted those embossing folder panels immediately and I have to case you someday on this one. Just gaw-geous and your flower is a beauty with the added sprigs. Very pretty daisy punch. O.K., I'll put it in my favorites, too so I can run up your total. LOL Seriously, I am putting it there to CASE you. You go ahead and pig out and see what happens. ;)

I'm just blown away by your fantastic case of my card Pam! I love the color changes and that gorgeous flower you added! The sentiment panel looks fantastic centered in that punched border, and all of the ferns behind the flower add so much beautiful detail! Thanks for CASE-ING me and sharing this honor with me today by playing along!! I feel truly blessed
