This is for QFTD20 and my very good friend, Fran (Francie G) is our Queen For The Day. I'm sure you have each been in awe of Fran's gorgeous gallery and her wonderful watercolor techniques mixed with such elegant and graceful projects. I picked this project as my inspiration piece. Floral Elegance (FG) by Francie G. at Splitcoaststampers I changed the layout a little bit but kept the oval framed floral image. I found this new cuttlebug folder Grace's Frame in my mailbox today from Bonnie' s Store Toyz 4 Paper http://toyz4paper.blogspot.com/ and just had to use it. I cut around the embossed frame (but I sure couldn't do it as good as Bonnie can) and then stamped the flower image and sponged ink over a reverse oval mask.
Congratulations, Fran! You are so deserving of this honor as you are one of the most creatively talented and supportive stampers in our community. Hugs to you!!!!!!!!!!

This is just gorgeous, Kittie! Your coloring and shading are outstanding, as usual! Love, love your new toy and the way you cut out around it! Beautiful framing of the lovely image!
Thanks so much for your kind words and taking the time to make my day special! I think I need a tissue! Hugs!
