Congrats Joanne! I can't think of a more deserving new queen! I have always admired your beautiful cards! And you always give sweet comments! I was a true pleasure browsing your gallery! This is the card I chose; IC249 Blessings in Blue by sleepyinseattle at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the colors.
Different image, embossing folder and punch border.
Different sentiment.
I left the buttons off and added rhinestones.
I stamped and heat embossed the image, colored with copics and cutout with a Spellbinder. I sponged on some color around the image. Used SU punches for the sentiment. And an EK border punch.
Enjoy your reign Joanne. And Trish you are doing a fabulous job with the challenge.
Hugs Linda

Love these springlike colors!!! I am sorely missing the lack of purples since the color renovation at SU last year - sure hope we get some in the new In colors - this card is really a beauty with all those blooms in the watering can colored so brilliantly. The rhinestones were a great idea too - Joanne will be thrilled with what you did on this card!
