It's still Friday - and I'm uploading my QFTD card! Go me! (I still have one to finish from two weeks ago but that sort of speaks to how the last couple of weeks have gone.)
But here I am with today's card to celebrate the coronation of scrappigramma2 (aka Grace) as our eleventh Queen for the Day. Congrats Grace - such a wonderful gallery full of fantastic creativity. And always filling other people's galleries with thoughtful comments. Great choice for our newest QFTD!
I received this PSX stamped image from fellow SCSer "dlsplu" (aka Deb) - thanks so much! Coloured it with my watercolour crayons and aquapainter then versamarked the entire image and embossed with clear ep several times to attempt the cracked glass technique. Used a corner punch to mat the image. Used two sets of black rhinestones on the front and left the sentiment for the inside.
This also works for this month's Fan Club Central Theme. Now, it's no secret that I 'collect' punches, but, according to DH, I also 'collect' flowers. He figures I'm on a rescue mission any time we're near a store selling plants these days and informed me it is not my duty to 'rescue' every plant I see and bring it home with me. Thus, I feel this works for today's F4A14 challenge to make a card base on something you collect. Sadly, our current house doesn't have a great spot for me to plant tulips - I've had them in just about every other place we've lived. Might have to dig up some of the lawn... That'd get me big points around here...
Punch tally - 1 punch x 4 times on the outside. Same punch even more times on the inside.

Now, this is a real beauty. You know, or may not, tulips are my favorite flower. You colored them beautifully and even did a cracked glass technique! I've never tried that. I would love to give it a try. You have beautiful corners and just a lovely card to honor Grace.

Heather, how gorgeous! You may have just redeemed yourself with this amazing cracked glass floral card. Ooooh, it's so lovely in pink and the coloring is so wonderful. I see you've followed Grace with perfect corner punches and bling. Girl, you did good on this one. It's gorgeous!

Such beautiful tulips -and the cracked glass is just lovely!!! I guess you just put your card out the backdoor for a couple of minutes -and the whole thing shattered into pieces due to the sub zero temperatures on the prairies!!! UH HUH!! Very creative!!!!!

Love that cracked glass technique and this pretty image. You did an awesome job on the layout. How cool that you used your punch collection and also covered your flower collection. Isn't it cool how we can love flowers and show that love on cards instead of a garden (since you don't have a good spot and I can't stand heat or bugs). Great job.
