This card is in honor of this weeks Queen - the one and only BENZI aka Brenda. I had very little time to stamp this weekend with Mom visiting and all (luckily she takes daily naps LOL) so I was able to make some time!
Benzi - I love your gallery!! I love your design style, and have so many favorites of yours. Thank you for sharing your beauties with us - and for all your very sweet (and sometimes very hilarious) comments on my cards!! I went looking for a CAS card because you have so many beauties in this category - and found one that is a true masterpiece: {QFTD47 New Home}
Changes were with stampset, colors, ribbon and flower, sentiment and pearls. I kept it to one layer though!!
The elements of style was stamped, then colored using markers and pencils. The ribbon goes around to the inside so the ends are in the front - and are held together using the metal strand from the flower. This card is made with SU! textured vanilla and is 6" high - so the inside panels are reinforced with Very Vanilla to ensure the card will stand straight!!
CONGRATULATIONS again Benzi!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks everyone for taking a peek!
Happy Easter Hugs,
Audrey

What a fantastic case of the Benz. Love the flowers and your colors, but that ribbon with the rose is the BEST! Wow. This is so great!

Okay, I'm really onto you now Audzi!! This is another work of beauty and I'm gettin' darn tired of your holding out on me with your zecretz such as how to do that fantastic ribbon. Next time we meet, you have a lot of teachin' to do. I better start writing what zecretz I need from you for the zecret fake blog. The ribbon/flower treatment is a beauty and I will do one after you teach me how!! I've always loved that image and it is colored beautifully. The perfectly placed pearls add so much elegance. I do have to say that the card you chose of Benzi's is one of my favorite of hers and you did such an honor to her with yours. TFS and Hugs!

Another extraordinary piece of craftsmanship. That flower on the top is a dead ringer for the stamped image...how did you do that!!! This is just enchanting. I hope I have time to play this challenge as well. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
