Yippee for Melina! I am so happy to see Melina crowned Queen this week. She is such a sweetie and did you know she's starting a blog challenge? I can't wait to play. I love her CAS cards. I chose to case this one: Simple Blooms by mepylant at Splitcoaststampers
I mostly kept the sketch, used different paper, and I'm using an image that is a sneak peek from Mark's Finest Papers that will be released next week called
Mother's Magnolias. I I stamped and colored the image, cut out, and popped on. I cut the two black strips from scraps. One of my pearls on the bottom looks smaller than the others but I promise they are the same size. It is the way the light hit it.
Melina, hope you enjoy your time as Queen this week. I love your gallery.

How do you get to the challenges so fast Benzi? I feel bad as I've barely been able to do them lately. I love your magnolias and your interpretation of Melina's card. You did a super duper job!

Benz, this is wonderful! I love the fresh look and the sketch. Those flowers are so pretty. Thanks for the heads up on the new blog challenge that Melina is starting (have you stolen Pamzi's spy equipment again?). Hugz!!!

Love those magnolia images - such a pretty setting with the yellow BG and those bold black strips - a great card to honor Melina this week!
