Audrey, I am so thrilled that you were crowned Queen. I don't know how I was able to put a card together for you on the same day of the challenge as I haven't been able to do that in some time, but I pushed myself in your honor. Does that mean you'll share the treasure with me???
Your work is as extraordinary as is your spirit and I feel blessed to have met you IRL and gotten to know each other b/t stamping and going on "field trips" together!
I cased one of your cards that you had cased of Karen; but, you always puts such a unique spin on your creations, that I thought it would be okay.
The other reason is personal. If I'm not mistaken, I gave Audrey the orange flower she used on her card. Audrey gave me the MFT Flourish Diecut awhile back. And, we were together at Hobby Lobby when I found the beautiful cloisonne flower I used on this card. So, I thought I would put our 3 memories together.
OMG, I've always wanted to do a border layered card. I don't really know how, but I just kept addin' them on. I hope you can see all of them in the photo.
I added a sentiment I thought Audrey would like, an unusual ribbon for one of the borders with big flowers and lots of pearls. If you look real close on the bottom right side, you'll see the little "queen's crown" stamped onto a jewel tag.
Audrey, my friend, my punchie pal and almost twinzi 11 mos. apart, I hope you enjoy my rendition of your beautiful card. I wish I could do more, but your gallery is so awesome, I'd probably keel over trying to do another one.
Here's to you Queenie! Hugz Twinzi!

Wow Pamzi, this is so pretty and so heartfelt. I could just feel your love for your Twin Sister Audzi reading the details here. Your layering is wonderful (I need to try that) and the flowers and details on this are beautiful. Such a beautiful card and CAS and story. How fun to use things Audzi gifted you wth to case her. Wonderful sentient too - perfect for a sister. Hugz!

Jeepers! Look at all that amazing textures and those awesome pearls. This just oozes romance. (Huh...not sure ooze and romance should be in the same sentence...)
