Congrats Mutnik for being chosen the very 1st Queen for the day! You do deserve it!
I caught up this weekend on all the Queen cards and I had the hardest time caseing one of your cards. I tried so hard to draw something and be creative and artistic like you. After feeding my trash can several times, I realized that you deserve some extra jewels in your crown ( just for being able to draw !!) Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with the rest of us!!
I based my card on this fabulous card......
I kept the same layout and knew I had to incorporate wildlife before I even peeked in your gallery. I used a frog instead of a bird and added some dragonflies and added vellum wings, just incase he gets hungry. I colored him with copics and added crystal effects, stick on bling and used the most superb textured paper from Anne Ryan that I have been hoarding ( I decided to not hoard anymore ). Thanks so much Anne!! Thanks to Coffeestamper for the wedding rings stickers i used on the inside!!
Thanks for the inspiration Cathy and Congats again!!!

OMG, this is priceless Peggy Sue. I know what you mean about Mutnik's gallery - it's SO HARD to case her because she's so orignal! I'm in LOVE with that paper Anne sent you, that adorable CROWNED image, dragonflies and die cuts. Wow, you did good!! TFS!

Wonderful card - I totally agree with you about how challenging it is to try and 'knock-off' one of Mutnik's creations - but you've done yourself proud. I too have some absolutely "mahvelous" papers that Anne sent me that I haven't been able to cut into to make a card - I look at it regularly and admire how fabulous it is and then tuck it aside safely until I feel 'worthy' of using such wonderful paper!
