Congratulations to our queen Francie G. for wearing the crown for this week's QFTD! What a lovely collection of cards I found in your amazing gallery! I looked through a lot of pages, but always came back to this Showers Bring Flowers card: Showers bring Flowers (FG) by Francie G. at Splitcoaststampers
I combined this CASED card from your gallery with a Technique Tuesday challenge to use their stamps on a card. I kept the layout the same, because there's no reason to change something that's already amazing! What I did change was the mat color, the sentiment, and the floral images. I also omitted the pearls on the ends of the die cut because I used larger flower images. The flowers and leaves are from Technique Tuesday's Pocket Full of Posies set. I stamped them on PTI white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink, embossed them with clear ep, then colored them with reinkers and a blender pen. Next I cut them out and added glossy accents. I had to wait for them to dry overnight, so I finished the card this morning.
Thanks for stopping by and again - congratulations Francie! Enjoy your reign!! You're so worthy of wearing this crown!

Carol, this is an outstanding card! The glossy accents gave an even more gorgeous look to those beautiful flowers and leaves. I love that Labels 10 and I don't have it. Another item for that very long list.

Carol, what a great case of Francie's card as QFTD. I wanted to case that one too, but chose a different one. Yours is an absolute beauty. I LOVE your shiny flowers. I know Francie is thrilled with this one!! TFS!

This is stunning!!! I love these colors and your flowers are beauties--love the Glossy Accents. Great embossing. Also, I love the sentiment stamped in gray. Very soft look to it.
