All Hail to Izzy, Queen for the Week (well, it does last a week so I still think it is miss-named). Izzy as us Punchkateers call her, has the greatest cards. I love to case her, so I was thrilled to get to do it in an official tribute to her tireless creativity and encouragement. I cased this beautiful card:
I think she called it Fresh Cut Sympathy, but then it has been over 10 minutes since I copied the link and my mind ain't what it use to be.....
I kept the purple which was so pretty and I kept the layout, but I tore my main image, added a prima flower, and added some sparkle, silver, and bling.
I am so glad that I could still make a regular shaped card - I was beginning to think I was stuck on shaped Easel cards. Heather is such an inspiration that she helped me break through it (kind of like that butterfly breaking through my main image except I look a mess this morning and it is all pretty and silver and sparkly).
Congrats Izzy - you will most likely have to make your own crown because I am pretty darn sure that Fruitcake is not ever going to get that thing off her head! Let me know how that goes...
PT: two punches used 7 times (plus some on the inside).

What a stunning beauty Nancy. Love your write up. Your colors, image, butterfly, border punching and flowers are Way Beautiful. No easel card - that Agent 9999 must have intervened quickly. Whew, we were close to losing you to the land of easel!! P.S. I finally got a card done for the new faux queen Dizzi as I call her. I won't be able to upload till tomorrow, then you will know the REAL STORY. I will tell the truth and nothing but the truth on this SCS conspiracy to owerthrow Queen Fruitcake. I think it's also a discrimination againt Fruitcakes. Why do so many hate Fruitcakes?????

Very pretty, Nancy. The flower is gorgeous...and I see you did get over that passion of easel cards. Probably not for long, though. LOL I've made Pamzi a jester..though, she doesn't know it yet. That way, she will no longer need that crown. She'll need some odd looking shoes, I'm thinking.

When you do a case - YOU DO A SUPER CASE!!! That flower and beautiful butterfly over that Background is superb - love that you kept the purple color and softened it with the gentle shades in the butterfly and flower - way to honor Izzy! the punchateer way!!
