Congratulations to the Queen for the Day (version 44.0)--pam124, aka Pamzi, as some of us Punchkateerz call her! Not only are you SO deserving of this honor because of your fabulous comments and encouraging ways, you have a delightful and colorful gallery. It was so hard to choose a card to CASE because you have so many lovely CASE-able cards, but I finally settled on this one:
I changed the image, color, and orientation, but kept all the basic elements of the sketch, the stitching (although mine is *actual* machine stitching and not that faux stuff--because I didn't rely on getting my sewing machine from Benzi), the eyelets in the corners, the ribbon down the middle, and a circular element in the corner.
My sentiment ("gray skies are gonna clear up") was computer generated. The felt clouds are die cuts I received from the lovely Lisa Lara.
Pamzi, enjoy your reign as queen!! I think you may have to borrow Kookzi's crown.
Thanks for looking!
Emily
PT: I used 2 cloud die cuts, 3 flower punches for the handmade flower sepals, and a 1.5" circle punch for my sentiment. Not a lot, but I punched a bunch of holes in my card stock while doing the machine stitching and punched 7 holes with my Crop-A-Dile for the eyelets!! I hope that punch tally is worthy of our Punchkateer representative to the office of QFTD!!!

Love that out of the box look, and those brightly colored flowers - a sure sign of the end of the gray clouds and skies. Very uplifting card and well composed!!

Ooooo, I love this color combo, and I'd never have thought of it - this is beautiful! I love those orange roses and the little felt cloud and the sentiment - gosh, I think I like everything!!!
