Roxie is the perfect choice for Queen. She puts so much into this community, week in and week out. She is kind, a patient teacher, and an incredibly talented stamper. But her greatest talent is my moral quandary for this challenge...Conventional etiquette is that one should not CASE a card made with a challenge sketch. Roxie is the Queen of Sketches, and of course makes cards as samples for all of her sketches. So, I decided to make a breech of the rules and say as thousands have said before me "Love the sketch, Roxie!"
Here is the card that I CASEd: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Used the sketch ;), changed the images to Flourishes Orchids, colored with Copics rather than pencils and used different papers and color scheme. PT - 5
Congratulations, Roxie on this very deserved honor. Enjoy your week and the gratitude of all of us.
Thank you so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

This is such a great card!! I love that you colored the orchids with a bright color, and then separated your card with three main colors. Very nicely done, and a wonderful tribute to Roxie.

What a cheery card Marzi!! Wonderful job on this image. Great tribute to our current QFTD. I'm off to work my way backwards until I finally catch up on all the QFTD cards I've 'intended' to get done!

Beautiful case of Roxie. Just to show you how much I know about flowers, I thought these were ruffled daffs!!!!!!! You know the ones that are white w/ the orangish trumpet... anyway, Marzi this is awesome.
