Well, it's still Friday where I am so one could say I'm actually 'on time' with this week's Queen for the Day card. Carol's gallery is full of fantastic creations. Hope she's soon feeling up to sharing more of her work! I chose Carol's Soft Sky Birthday Wishes as my inspiration. I debated whether or not to use exactly the same embossing folders but opted to join the three vertical panels into one so I could test out a new Sizzix folder I just got this week.
Other challenges I've met with this card:
StampinB # 56 - Make a Mother's Day card
ssnotime137 - Make a 3-D flower on your card
F4A10 (SCS) - Celebrate May Day - show your florals
Stamped the flower on dp with Versamark, embossed with white, cut out and curled the petals. Thanks to whiterockmama (aka Ritzi) for the pearls.
Moving this to the Dry Embossing Technique section in an attempt to see if the "Dreaded Red X" will disappear.... It's the only technique gallery/section that remotely fits!
Punchkateer tally: Used 3 different punches - 2 leaf punches on the front/one daisy border punch on the inside (top and bottom edges galz) (Total # punches - 12) RYPH!

So soft and pretty! Love your version of Carol's card.... you really made it your own with that "gotta have" new embossing folder and your 3D flower. Love the little pearl centers on the flowers - very nice touch!

Oh, this is really lovely, Izzy!! I just love your new embossing folder. What a great design! And I like how you added little pearls to the embossed flower centers. Your 3D flower turned out really sweet. You are rockin' those challenges!! Super duper job on this flowery Mother's Day card

This is so beautiful, Izzy. What a wonderful new folder you have. I want it!
I just have to stay out of stores and not look or I'll, of course, want everything I see. Love your sweet flower and those pearls scattered about your card. So glad you could join the StampinB's this week with your Mother's Day card...and what Mother wouldn't love this beauty?
