This card is for 2 challenges - Ways To Use It - Resolution Check In & QFTD145.
For the Ways To Use It Challenge it was all about our New Year Resolutions - I have resolved to use more old dp from my stash next year!
The QFTD Challenge this week was to select the Queen who was nearest to our birth date, in my case my Queen For The Week is Holly (Toy). I loved this pretty card of hers -
I kept the same layout & colour combo and used my scorpal on the white c/s, too, but changed my image and ribbon. This is a new stamp set from Penny Black I received from my son for Christmas, I stamped the flowers in Momento Tuxedo Black & coloured using blender pen & inkpads. Added some pink glitter to the flowers, the green ribbon & pearls.
Thank you for taking the time to look!!

I love those shades of green and pink together. Beautiful flowers with their added sparkle! I'm stuck on what to do more my MIL's birthday card. This just may be the ticket. Thanks!

Great card to honor Toy. I do love the soft colors!! And I am with you on the papers. I have so many I don't even want to look at them anymore; tired of seeing them. No way they will ever be used up. tfs
