The QFTD is Susan aka One4Joy. What an awesome gallery. She has such unique, beautiful, fun, and spiritual cards. I went through half her gallery and came upon this card I wanted to case. I would love to spend more time in her gallery as time permits. homecoming...O4J by One4Joy at Splitcoaststampers
I needed a Valentine for my 6 month old DGD. Sure, I know she'll really be pleased. I'm hoping it doesn't head straight for her mouth. LOL
I kept Susan's sketch but moved my rick rack to the opposite side. I didn't tear my card but used a cutter for the eding on my image layer. I thought that was best for a sweet, baby Valentine.
Then, I added a flower at the top where her crown and hearts were.
Of course, by the time I was through, my peach colored flower looked much too orange. It is really almost the color of my cardstock.
I am entering another card into yesterday's WT308 challenge to have a heart on your project.
Susan, hope your reign as Queen is very special.

Benzi, love how you rocked this!! I almost picked the same card but got scared when it was time to start, and bailed to something more familiar - you are a brave girl, and did fantastic with Susan's layout - love your take on this!!

Benzalina, this is so creative and I really LOVE it. Your matching flower is awesome and I just love the clean look. The princess/heart crown in the corner is perfect. You're lucky I'm too tired tonight to mention anything about my royalty since you are referring to a princess and I am the QUEEN, so I'll hold my tongue tonight, but watch out!! This is soooo darling!

Benzi, what a wonderfully crafted case of Susan's card. Yikes, with just a little spin, you've captured her essence but also your own. What a glam card! Wow!
