Today, the QFTD is Linda aka Hotwheels. I really dug into her wonderful gallery and found some awesome cards to create and chose this one: flowers by hotwheels at Splitcoaststampers
I kept her layout except I left off the lower panels because I had made my bg with the techinique, Letterpress with Impressabilities, and wanted it to show although I see it is still mostly covered and too dark to show. I am using a different image and dp.
Stamped image twice and popped the flowers. For corners, I used the MS Punch Around the Page , using waste from the punched corner.
Linda, I hope you really enjoy your time as QFTD. It is such an honor and you so deserve this special time.

Benzi, I really LOVE your QFTD case today. LOVE the color combo, your beautiful flowers perfectly colored, and b/g embossing. I don't know too much about letterpress with impressabilities - probably shouldn't ask either as it's one more thing I'll have to add to my wish list. You really did do a fabulous job honoring Linda as QFTD!!! TFS!! P.S. I'm still working on mine!! Ugghh!!
