I am really thrilled to see Lois crowned Queen. She is my pal on the Stampin' B's Design Team and I know for sure she makes beautiful cards. I decided to case this card: Butterfly Garden_lb by Clownmom at Splitcoaststampers
Her card is apparently wider than mine so I had a bit of a time making my piercerabilitie work. I changed the image and my butterfly punch is different than her butterflies. I happen to have some of the tiniest pearls that would fit my 'flies. Other than what I've mentioned and the colors, I stayed pretty true to Lois' card.
Lois, I hope your week of royalty is a lot of fun. Don't get too used to it, though. You know in a week you'll have to go back to a normal life.
Edit: I am adding my card to the Free for All challenge - Home Sweet Home. My flower garden is a home for many butterflies and insects.

Oh Benz, this card is delish!! That gorgeous array of flowers looks like the perfect place for this family of butterflies to call home!! Love the colors, and its one combo that I would never have picked on my own - you are so flexible - and I need to learn that.
Great card to case and honor Lois this week with too! TFS

Benzi, this is so sweet! Love the pink 'flies and artichoke garden - totally adorable case. I know how you love your garden so this is perfect for the Home Sweet Home theme. Is it pretty up in North AL today? Central AL has been windy and overcast, but I am not complaining - a day off is a day off regardless. Hugz!
