How great to have you as our QFTD! Everyone is totally thrilled to see you crowned as today's special queen. The honor is all yours!
Grace, admittedly, your gallery is somewhat intimidating to me: you have all the latest and greatest nesties/dies/images/copics/designs that leave a simple stamper like me to ponder over which one of the hundreds could I possibly case without too much embarrassment.
Well, I made another executive decision to attempt to recreate THIS CARD. As you can see, mine doesnt really look anything like yours, Grace. My ribbons are way bigger than the ones you use and I just didnt feel like bringing out the sewing machine for that zigzag stitching. So minus those 2 changes, it still doesnt look like yours. Humor me please with my humble case of your phenomenal card.
Grace, you are such a wonderfully gifted stamper and have chased those challenges since day 1! It's our turn to challenge ourselves to recreate the beauty that lies within your wonderful gallery.
Have a wonderful day, Grace. Enjoy this much earned acknowledgement.
A huge thanks to Anne Dodd for the Silver Mirrored and white asian ghost paper that I've embossed with a rubbernecker french script backgrounder, which can be found @rubbernecker.com

Anne, how lovely this vase looks...Asian I would guess. LOL I love the silver matting and the discreet drawing on the other layer. Beautiful work my friend. Cool flowers. TFS

Simple and simply GORGEOUS! Casing one of Grace's cards would intimidate me toooooo much. You have done an outstanding job of paying tribute to a AWESOME stamper. Beautifully done!!

Beautifully done Anne!! I love your Asian cards...you have such a flair and style when it comes to these cards. You know in Japan they take their flower arranging very seriously and this so reminds me of some of their masterpieces. Fabulous card and spin of the wheel today!! Snugs!!

This may not look like Grace's card, but it has your lovely touches all over it and it's a stunning card! Those flowers are amazing, and I love the sparkly silver panel working the background! It's just beautiful, and a perfect CASE of Grace's gorgeous card as far as I'm concerned! I know Grace will love it too
