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.

So pretty. I love this technique and you've done it so well here. This bright and cheery after the cool dreary weather we've had here this past long weekend - thanks for brightening my day.

This is just gorgeous Benzi. I love the pretty background embossing as a backdrop for the wispy image. Very well done and a glorious display of beauty and graceful lines.
