It's still Friday - and I'm uploading my QFTD card! Go me! (I still have one to finish from two weeks ago but that sort of speaks to how the last couple of weeks have gone.)
But here I am with today's card to celebrate the coronation of scrappigramma2 (aka Grace) as our eleventh Queen for the Day. Congrats Grace - such a wonderful gallery full of fantastic creativity. And always filling other people's galleries with thoughtful comments. Great choice for our newest QFTD!
I received this PSX stamped image from fellow SCSer "dlsplu" (aka Deb) - thanks so much! Coloured it with my watercolour crayons and aquapainter then versamarked the entire image and embossed with clear ep several times to attempt the cracked glass technique. Used a corner punch to mat the image. Used two sets of black rhinestones on the front and left the sentiment for the inside.
This also works for this month's Fan Club Central Theme. Now, it's no secret that I 'collect' punches, but, according to DH, I also 'collect' flowers. He figures I'm on a rescue mission any time we're near a store selling plants these days and informed me it is not my duty to 'rescue' every plant I see and bring it home with me. Thus, I feel this works for today's F4A14 challenge to make a card base on something you collect. Sadly, our current house doesn't have a great spot for me to plant tulips - I've had them in just about every other place we've lived. Might have to dig up some of the lawn... That'd get me big points around here...
Punch tally - 1 punch x 4 times on the outside. Same punch even more times on the inside.

Had to come back after looking again at the card and finally saw that it was cracked and that it looked amazing! I just love the pink tulips image too. Beautiful case my friend. TFS

Diz, there's SO MUCH I LOVE about your card. The tulips are GAWGEOUS, the nice clean layout is fantastic and your cracked glass came out AMAZING!! Do you like all them there adjectives. I need to find some new ones! I love your corner punching and black rhinestones too. What a great way to honor Grace as QFTD!! A true beauty Diz and it's okay that you only used 1 punch as you used it several times. Now, get out there and dig up your lawn to get them tulips planted now, ya' hear! That's how uz southerners talkz!! LOL!! Hugzi!

Its been a while since I have seen the cracked gass and you really did a job on this flower image with it. Love how it is enclosed by the corner punch in pink. A beautiful yet simple card!!
