Today's newly crowned queen is Jan aka heartsong47 and I found plenty of gorgeous cards for case-ing in her gallery.
I decided to case this card: ODBDSLC102, Mother's Day by heartsong47 at Splitcoaststampers As you can see, I left off the ribbon and exchanged for a butterfly with a different placement and didn't use as many layers. Where Jan is using lace, I stamped a border.
I chose the colors because I am entering the Inspired by Stamping challenge, IBSIC #52 and their colors are Kraft/Sand, Sage Green, and Blue.
My card is also entered into the Fan Club Monthly Theme challenge, Just Hatched I chose to do a Spring card. The irises bloom in my area in Spring and some are already blooming. Yea!
Jan, I hope your week is filled with happy times as you check out all the cards made in your honor.

Your iris's look wonderful, Brenda, and I like how you added the blue under the butterfly! When I think of the word hope, butterflies and flowers certainly come to mind. If a flower can come back year after year and a butterfly emerge from that cocoon, there is definitely HOPE for us humans~

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
