This week's Queen For the Day, is Grace (Scrappigramma2) who has always been the most encouraging person and who has a super gallery. I didn't have to go far in her gallery to see a card I wanted to case:
This card has the coolest layout and great textures. I changed the colors, the image, the sentiment and used a bunch of punches - I kept the layout and the canvas bg.
I made this card for a friend's birthday. She loves punches and sheep - so while I only have one sheep on the card, I used 7 different punches a total of 17 times - I feel like I lost weight today! I tried to copy a Pat Smether's sun burst, but it just didn't come out like Pat's does - oh well!
Paper: SU! Melon Mambo and Very Vanilla and K&Co dp
Ink: Stazon Black and SU! Chocolate Chip
Accessories: ribbon, gems, metal brads, prima flowers, and a bunch of punches (unknown small flower punch, CM Circle punch, SU! word window punch, butterfly die cuts, oval punch, crop-a-dile, and SB Scallop Circle Punch (two sizes)

OMG, I'm smiling and I'm hoping. LOL This is the sweetest sheep...oh, shoot..could it be for my birthday? I just had to ask but don't answer. Ha
Thanks for the link on making the sheep. Your sunburst is awesome. What a darling scene and the prettiest butterflies and flowers. Well, you and I both know I like punches and sheep so it must be. And, weight lost...what a winner card!

Nancy! Ai yi yi, where to start! Sister, this is adorable and sweet! I love your lil sheep (especially the curly lil top hair, aw..... flowers!) Your sunburst is great, and your case- well, it is the best! I nearly chose the same card, but chickened out! lol! Love your bg, the butterflies, and the textured pattern behind the scene. Wonderful card! Thanks for the links too! Hugs! LYMI

Nancy, this is the cutest eva'!!! What a true piece of art you've created here. My gosh, it's amazing. I saw how to make sheep with punches and I was going to try to make one for Benzi's b-day cuz she luvz sheep, but I couldn't get mine to turn out right. Yours, on the other hand, looks ADORABLE!! Way 2 go Nutzi!! TFS! P.S. Can we even see you now that you've lost all zee weight??????
