Congratulations to Linda, aka zgirlsgranny, on being chosen to wear the Queen for the Day crown yesterday! Linda is such a sweetheart and a terrific stamper to boot! She's also a crazy tea partier at Teapot Tuesdays, and we always have such a blast.
I chose Linda's cute Masculine Cards Jeff09 card seen here:
I love dogs, and I especially love this cute dog image Linda used. It's obvious that I made several changes in my card, but I kept the dog theme and I like how she used the crimper for the background. I used the crimper on the entire piece of cardstock, but I finished off the inside with a piece of kraft cardstock matted in black and stamped "dear father" from Well Scripted onto oval punches.
My poochies are clear stamps by Inkadinkadoo in solid images. For the pappa pooch on the left, I stamped him first in creamy caramel, lined him up with my stamp-a-ma-jig and stamped him again in chocolate chip. I then took a black marker and colored just certain portions of the image and stamped the image again using my stamp-a-ma-jig. For the darling daughter poochie on the right, I stamped her in Adirondack's ginger (to reflect her lovely reddish brown tresses) and then took black marker and colored portions of her, too. I had to cut out each piece of both poochies and glue them to the kraft cardstock.
This darling daughter pooch with the beautiful reddish brown hair is giving her pappa pooch a particularly delicious bone for Father's Day. It will be in the form of a gift certificate to one of his favorite stores.
Happy Father's Day Pappa!
Congratulations, Linda! We love you and hope you enjoy your week of honor wearing your crown!

Pairing the crimped BG with the scalloped edge punch was sheer genius for this awesome card. I know Linda is going to get a big kick out of this one, Charlene!!
So, does it meet with your approval, Linda!? I love it!!
