Vicki is our Featured Stamper today - and I chose her beautiful For Our Queen card to case. She had CASED Queen Loll that week so I tried to make mine different so I wasn't just making Loll's card - while still keeping the theme of Vicki's card.
I used green instead of white for the card, I used brown ribbon and tied it off to the right instead of in the middle, I embossed the panel - and I added the leaf rather than cutting it out of the panel.
I used the Burned Paper Bag technique on my leaf (you can see more details about that technique on my post here
Congrats on being the FS Vicki! Enjoy your week in the gallery!

I have never heard of the burned paper bag technique before, but I tell ya, I will be checking this one out. This is really an eye catcher. I like what you have done.

LOVE the look that technique gives! WOW - first time I had heard of that - Your simple card is classy in every respect - that EF for your front is perfect to showcase those special leaves, and the gingham warms my heart!!

I am learning about all sorts of new techniques today... I really am impressed by this burned paper bag technique, makes a very distinct image that pops out of the gallery.... I really love this cas beauty, the green is just beautiful embossed with this folder. This definitely hits a home run with me. Thank you so much for sharing and being a part of this special day.... Thank you thank you thank you......
