That was a tricky challenge today - purple, red and gold was hard enough but a royal theme too!! I thought and thought, and in the end I pulled out Unfrogettable as being the only stamp I had with a crown.
Cream A2 base, sponged edges with red.
Cream layer edges sponged with purple.
Watercolour paper with the image stamped with Versafine Black, coloured with distress inks (Twinkling H2Os and gems for the crown, gold Liquid Pearls for the spots on the toadstool), stitched with gold metallic thread and edges sponged with red.
HA sentiment stamped on cream card and layered onto Spellbinders Fancy Tags. I traced around the inside of the die to cut out the cream layer and sponged the edges with purple. Tiny gold bling on the tag.

Sabrina, this one is adorable! What a clever way to use the colors and make a "smiling" card. I'm still grinning. I love frog princes, but there never seems to be anyone suitable to send them to. TFS!

Leave it to you, sweet girl, to create a card like this! Sabrina, this is a hoot. I love that free form stitching too. I could never do that ... it would be so foreign to move the card all over the place. I think this is the grand royal card of the day.
