Why on earth would I case this complicated card of Pam's? It is because I gave her that butterfly/leaf adornment and what a beautiful card Pam made with it. Maybe if I had kept it, I could make a card that gorgeous. LOL MMSC73, Sparkly Gold Butterflies by pam124 at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the image but still have butterflies, flowers, and leaves. I am using a Martha Stewart stencil and chalked the butterflies and leaves on the focal image. Added different leaves and gemstones to the side of the panel. Yea! I got to use my crimper. My flowers are different on the bottom and top sides. I just had to add the crinkled ribbon.
Pam and I go back to a bird card I mailed her with some very skinny cut out legs. We had met over a comment she made on the card. Anyway, there was a lot of fun over the bird legs, and while we've never met in person, we have had a few wild and crazy phone conversations. She is truly a riot and a good, fun friend...and a Punchkateer Pal.
Now, we all know Pamzi loves her bling so I did my best to go all out with the sparkles and bling.
Have a wonderful week of being Queen. Just remember, you have to give the crown to someone else next week. Yes, we all know you are already royalty and a Princezzzzz. LOL
PT: Should have used more for this Punchkateer's card but I ended up with 2 punches and 1 die cut.

So, you were busy making a card for me I see my "regular" friend not of royalty?!!! Oh man, you did pick a difficult card to case as the beautiful gold piece you sent me for the focal image was an absolute BEAUTY. But, I will say, you have managed to tackle it beautifully. I love all the details you put into it; however, 2 punchez and 1 diecut for the prez of the Punchkateerz - you may be overthrown by me, DA QUEEN, over that one. I shall have a meeting with my royal staff to see if we should impeach you as Prez!!! Seriously, Benzi, this is a beautiful card. Of course, you know I love the bling and sparkle, that goes without saying - I know you used real jewels for the bling being as I am royalty and all - yes, I will never let that go that's for sure. You know how I love that crinkled ribbon you used and what's this, you used a crimper too. Girl, you went all out for me and I SO APPRECIATE you coming out to play. I shall put your name on the list for the upcoming royal wedding. Of course, your name will be on the list for working at the reception!! LOL!! THANKS MY BENZI FRIEND. IT'S BEEN A BLAST PLAYING WITH YOU!

BTW, are there spy cameras in the gems you sent? How low can you go to find out what goes on in the Royal Palace. I'm checking with our resident detective 9999 on this one. She shall scan for listening devices and cameras!! You betta watch out!!! The Tower of London awaits you if you are a traitor.

This is a great case of Queen Pam's original card, and I love how you blinged it all up in her honor! The crinkled ribbon is just gorgeous and I have yet to try using that!
I have a few royal connections, so perhaps I can get you a reserved seat and you won't have to work at the reception The queen is just being a meanie *snort*

Hi Benz....sorry for the confusion....I did comment, delete, and (I thought) re-comment...but either the second one didn't come through or I'm losing my mind. I contacted Lydia to let her know what happened.
Oh, and BTW....lovely card....LOL!

Brenda this is super lovely! You really did chose a hard one to cas. That was a way cool butterfly gold piece you sent Fruitcake. You sure manage to do a fab-O job without the big bling. Well done. TFS :0).....are there really spy cameras in the gems you sent her? hehe
