Hail to the Queen - which is Dawn Mercedes this week. I was clomping along in your gallery, marveling at all the variety of techniques, images and color when I came upon THIS LOVELY...
...and I chose it to honor you. Needless to say, it was not as easy as it looked and it took me several days, but here it is.
The jewels in the large Victorine flowers add nothing to the card. They are just Royal Jewels - a 'must have' for the Queen. Enjoy your reign.
The only way I could figure to do this was to stamp the card, cut out the center, glue it onto black CS and put it back together, so that's what I did. After that was done, I ran it through the Cuttlebug to ease my tension. Sentiment is computer generated. I WILL try this technique again as practice makes perfect.
