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.

Benz, LOVE the effect of the embedded embossing with this image - like looking through a window at a flowered vine crawling up the wall - so simple yet such impact with all that white area surrounding the image panel - Great card to honor Joanne this week - she is always there for such encouraging comments for all of us!!
