This week Anne was unavailable to throw her dart to pick a new QFTD, so we've gotten together to make a special day for Anne.
Oh my goodness Anne, it was supposed to be a day to honor you, not dishonor you like I have with this hideous card. I just can't do funny and beautiful at the same time like you do. Coloring the lion was a disaster, so I added some b/g scenery and thought why not give this lion a little sparkle. Well, that made it even worse. I wish I could redo, but don't have time. I'll probably send this to you so you can throw it in the trash!!
I hope all is well and that you will enjoy all the uploads in your honor!
Hugs!!

Oh Pam... quit being so hard on yourself. Your lion is adorable... he just looks sad that Anne couldn't toss her dart at the QFTD board this week. Great card!

Oh, Pam..you've never made a card in your life that needed to go into the trash and I'm sure this one won't. Your lion is so cute and I see the little crown up there for Queen Anne. That weathered bg is very cool. Just an adorable creation. Hugs~

Hideous? I think not!!!!!! A very cute lion indeed! From the top of his crown to the tip of his ferocious tail. A very cute card in honor of Anne. Do send it along, and we all know it will go up in a place of honor, NOT in the trash! TFS. : )

Well, Pammy cakes, I think this lion is sad, and I know exactly why!! he is just showing how much we all miss Anne here this week - He has his sparkly crown and is trying his best to keep a stiff upper lip , as they say, but he is missing his "Queen" - after all, he's the "King" of the jungle right? And when Anne gets back and sees how you glitzed up her "King", they will both be much happier.
You are just being your own worse critic, GF, and I think it is a very cool card - your layout is great, the weathered BG perfect, the glittered flower is adorable, and love how you used your white gel pen to accent the scallops on the outer circle. Good job, my friend!

Oh Fruitcake, how could our Queen Anne toss this beauty into the trash? I love this king of the jungle kind of cat with the big crown on his head. Did he happen to eat the last Queen when she delivered the crown or something? Just wondered. He looks to have a full stomach! hehe Your card is wonderful. Full of love, I hope. hehe TFS :0)

I think it came out really cute, Pamzi! It is more pretty than funny, but that is acceptable you know..... I tried to do funny at first too and it didn't work out for me. I love the sparkles with the lion image - not something you normally expect which makes it even better!
