I pulled out this old Stamper's Anonymous image of the Queen of Hearts. I chose some non-traditional playing card colors to color her. My bg was made using a Lavinia stencil and DO inks in the same color palette. I added a diamond border made with a gold stencil paste. The great quote is from Queen Elizabeth about wisdom which I thought was fun.

I love this old fashion card, I love Victorian type things. The saying by Queen Elizabeth is very interesting coming from her.

What a genius idea to make this in non-traditional colors. Love that stately queen so beautifully colored and those golden hearts just add that extra sparkle! Into my favorites!
