Curtsies to this week's very deserving Queen! Bev has a sweet, CAS style that is enviable and she is always present with encouraging comments. Bev also filled in as hostess while Anne took some time off, so I say it's high time we honored her as Queen for the Day!
I chose to CASE Rusty Trike, and was originally going to use a tricycle as my image, but when I saw this Burst of Color in the Santa Barbara Chic Blog, I had to switch to a big-girl bike with a basket of tulips.
Congratulations Bev.... hope you're enjoying your ride as Queen!
It's getting late, and I'm exhausted, so I'll be back tomorrow to comment.

Hilda,
I love your card - the colors of the flowers and that image is awesome. What a wonderful card - makes me want to pull my bike out of the garage, except still too much snow!

Hilda, I think it is genius that you chose not to color the bike. It just highlights the flowers in the basket like Becky said. I really like these bike images....they are so popular now and rightfully so. Your monochromatic colors just make those tulips pop and we all need some spring to see.
Thanks so much for making a card for the QFTD gallery. It is always fun to see what you are creating!! I really appreciate the time you took to make a card for me. When, I came back to stamping, I believe you were one of the first queens that I was here for for the challenges. It is an honor to be following in your royal footsteps.

Adored that sweet trike card of Bev's, now here you come with this "big girl's" version, all decked out with the bouquet of tulips!!
LOVE that crackle BG paper , and the flower and rhinestones are just right - not too much and not too little - the perfect balance!

Mrs. Broom, what a sweet cas card you've brought to honor our most magnificent of Queens. I have that image and I always love seeing it on a card; however, it's buried too deep in my boxes to reach in and pull it out. Glad it was within reach for you today because your card couldnt be any sweeter than this.

Gorgeous CAS card, Hilda. Beautiful tie-dye flower - goes perfectly with your card. Love the "Burst of Color" with the tulips in the basket - they really look like the tulips in the picture from the IC. Speaking of flowers - that sure is a fun link you posted in the Show and Tell Thread - very cheerful with all that white and gray outside - put it in my favs. Thanks for a fun day yesterday with with those 2 great cards. The chocolate covered strawberries - delicious - would go so well with our Margaritas.
