For this week's queen Mary (octoberbabe) I chose this beautiful card: QFTD150 Beate's Butterflies by octoberbabe at Splitcoaststampers You have a wonderful gallery, Mary, with lots of pretty cas cards! Congratulations and enjoy your royal reign! This is also for F4A to choose our fav colors. I adore purple and green combos, and since my fav color is any shade of purple, I just had to make this card. I normally do lots of stamping, so this was different for me using lots of dies on my card (a challenge in itself). I chose 3 dp's (striped, polka dot, and plaid). I also chose to round just one corner, but the basic layout is the same. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Roberta, this is beautiful.....and you do VERY well with creating a design from die cuts. I agree, purple and green are a lovely combo. Just love your butterflies that are all just a little bit different from one another.
