This is for the QFTD71 challenge - to case a card from Gingerbeary8 (Carol) gallery. Carol everyone of your cards is a masterpiece! Our styles are on opposite ends of the spectrum but I do admire and appreciate your cards! I decided to take a CAS approach to your Fred She Said Lily of the Valley card. And wow is that ribbon treatment amazing!!
I used the Lily of the Valley image from Repeat Impressions and stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black ink on Kraft paper. I used my white gel pen to color in the flowers and a water color pencil and an aquabrush to color in the leaves and stem. I cut it out with a rectangle Nestability and then rounded the corners and matted it with the Lattice Rectangles Nestability. I mounted that onto Bazzill textured cardstock.
Congrats to you Carol and I hope you enjoy your reign as the Queen!

Carol's card is gorgeous. Yours is really great too.
I love your attitude and comments about Carol's style.
I appreciate all styles of card making and its fun that we're all different.
I love the great frame and ribbon. Very pretty card. You did a great CAS version.
Thanks so much for playing along!
