Our Queen for the Day this week is kokirose. Pat is such a sweet lady. She always leaves such sweet comments on every one's cards. Pat is known for sewing on her cards, just about ALL of them. I am not that good at sewing on cards, but I gave it a shot to honor Pat. I CASEd this card. I changed the colors from green and brown to pink and gray and used an image of a girl instead of a boy. Instead of brads in the corners of the main image panel, I just used one rhinestone brad to tie the bow and added some paper roses. I stamped the sentiment on the dp instead of a separate panel. Congratulations to Pat!!! Thanks for taking a peek!!
