Congratulations to my friend and fellow Punchkateer Deborah, aka "debzi333" here on SCS, for being chosen QUEEN FOR THE DAY today! Not only does she have a super fun gallery, Debzi is so sweet, funny, and leaves the best and most encouraging comments. I generally don't do the CASE-ing games/challenges (I find it so intimidating!!), but wanted to try to do something to honor Debzi on her special day. I chose this wonderful "Super CAS Chickadee" card to CASE: Super CAS Chickadee by debzi333 at Splitcoaststampers
Debzi and I share a passion for buttons and THIS card of hers was the one that convinced me that I must have the PTI Everyday Button Bits stamp set that she used to make it! I love how she used a kraft card base for her card, so I kept that. But I *had* to use punches for my Punchkateer friend, so I used this double loops punched frame (a RAK gift from lisaadd), used different DP (although I actually own the BG DP Debzi used in her card!!), and used a different twine/string treatment.
This card is also for today's Free for All challenge, F4A13, Buttons & Bows, to make something with buttons and/or ribbon ... be creative ... try something different with them. My button is my little chickadee's body and I'm using heavyweight string as my "ribbon". I tied each end into a bow to "anchor" it and make it into a wire for this birdie to perch on!!
Enjoy being QUEEN today, Debzi!! You definitely deserve it for being such a kind and encouraging member of the SCS community and taking part in the challenges I salute you!!
Thanks for looking!
Emily

Wow, Emily!!! Fabulous work and a great tribute to your friend and the QUEEN- Deborah. I could stare at this for quite a while to take it all in. I just keep wondering how that double row of scallops was achieved? Fantastic card.

Such a beautiful job with that punch! I love this little birdie you created with the button, and it is adorable how you have him perched on the string with bows on the ends.
