Joanne/sleepyinseattle was crowned the new Queen for the Day. I have always admired Joanne's creativity and beautiful creations. There was no problem finding a card to case and I chose this one: IC257 Climbing Vine by sleepyinseattle at Splitcoaststampers
Joanne, I kept your clean layout and used a different image. I made my small flowers with a punch called Flower Patch and the butterflies are a classic butterfly punch..both are Martha Stewart.
I sponged the butterflies and used a different sentiment. After stamping and adding the butterflies and flowers, I ran it through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. This technique embedded the image.
Joanne, hope your week of royalty is a lot of fun. Wear the crown proudly.
The Free for All challenge is to use the color wheel and use opposite colors-Opposites Attract. I'm using red and green.
I'll try to comment on cards today...may have to be later. Getting ready to go out of town to a wedding this weekend.

Oh My, this is one fantastic card!!! I LOVE the coloring on the white panel, and then the pop of brilliant color on those tiny flowers! The embossed background is perfect, and what a lovely card you've made for Queen Joanne!

Benzi, you did a fabulous job on Queen Joanne's card. I love how the flowers pop off the white and the ef looks great. Lovin' that clean and crisp CAS layout and your multi colors came out fantastic. Kudos to you - Oh, gotz to go again, Audzi iz calling about our planz for tomorrow - send your jet on over and you can practice sponging, PATP, possibly easel cards and brayering; but, it will probably be mostly talking about, yes, YOU!! Hugz!
