It's my pleasure to hand the crown over to Jo (Reddyisco) who is QFTD40! I so enjoyed your gallery which is full of beautiful cards, Jo - it became obvious as I browsed that you have a real love for flowers and butterflies so that's what I chose to put on this card, casing this one:
I don't have anything like the gorgeous dragon fly Jo stamped so beautifully in gold, so I punched a small black butterfly. As Jo did, I embossed the flowers in white. I framed the panel in black along with the shimmery dp for a bg and added a thin black ribbon and some pearls.
I chose this sentiment as my card is made to send to Faith (markiesmom) whose Mum has just passed away - she is in my thoughts today.

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