What a super choice for this week's Queen! I love Bev's gallery and her ability to create gorgeous CAS cards.
Bev, congratulations on your ascension to the throne which is so richly deserved for your talent, your kind and encouraging comments, your willingness to take on the tough job of filling in as a hostess and your wonderful gallery.
I chose this card QFTD24 Birthday Wishes by Bev Barton at Splitcoaststampers to CASE after spending a lot of time just enjoying your creations in your gallery I changed the stamp, the colors and the reason for the card. I am always looking for designs for dignified, simple sympathy cards and your design totally fills the need.

I totally agree, I think simple and serene is the way to go with sympathy cards - this is beautiful, Christine, the branch silhouettes with a soft shadow coming in from the corner make such a lovely CAS sympathy card!

You certainly achieved your aim, Christine, of creating a beautiful and dignified sympathy card. It is stunning and what a wonderful CASE of Bev's design.
Christine, You have taken an idea and stepped it up about 50 notches into elegance. wow. I love your card. I am sure who ever receives such an elegant sympathy card will be greatly comforted.
Thanks so much for the nice comments and for playing along in the Queen's challenge today. I am honored to see so many beautiful cards.
