Friday's Queen for the day was Hotwheels and this is the card I cased from her gallery: sweet grapey Brithday wishes by hotwheels at Splitcoaststampers In the thumbnail, I actually thought her grape clusters were flowers and that is where the idea started. I loved the purple plaid (I exchanged it for gingham and I just got a gorgeous little K&Co pad in so many shades of purples, so this card just was calling me to make it up after the inspiration from Linda's gallery. I added in the picket fence because it just seemed to fit in with these lilacs and gingham and because its a "new to me" toy that I'm really enjoying playing with.

Oh Michelle, this is just who you are: sweet! Your ability to so aptly case Linda's card is amazing. I love your image and the fence! I applaud your vision with using tags, twine and eyelets. I could never have thought of that!

Great card. (I am so far behind I think I'm first and still have to get my card finished for Hotwheels QFTD reign - oops!) Love the layout and especially the picket fence borders.
