I was so excited to see 101Airborne, a/k/a Kathy, be selected as Queen For The Day. Kathy has been such a wonderful inspiration and encourager to so many SCS's.
I just had to use some SU Parisian Breeze DSP that Kathy sent me b/c I mentioned I loved it and never bought it. I don't know if I could part with my beloved dsp which means I'm not as nice as Kathy!! Thanks Kathy. I love the paper.
I used the SU Bloomin' Beautiful set for the flower and b/g text# I colored the flower with a combination of not quite navy and baja breeze markers then added crystal effects and dazzled it with glitter# Added crystal effects to the leaves too#
Used some of my beloved flowers on the 2 corners as Kathy had done, 2 squares of another piece of the Parisian dsp matted with chocolate chip, added 2 tiny punched b/flies and it was done#
I really enjoyed visiting your gallery Kathy and caseing this card was so much fun:

Oh Pam, I so glad you could make it! Where do I start - first of all the card is so beautiful (and in my favorite colors)! The image is gorgeous and colored so wonderfully. The flowers are so, so prettty - I love their colors. The corner blocks with the butterflies are lovely as well. It made me happy just looking at the card - because I know you put a lot of work into making it the beauty that it is! You know how much I love your cards and this one is extra special. I put the card into my favs and printed it off and taped it to my overhead shelf. Even my husband happened to be in my office and commented that it was "sure pretty." Thank you so, so much for playing - it means a lot to me!

Okay if you thought I wouldnt notice, you were wrong. I see the blue wall in the bg versus the other one. Plus, I see you're still using the same old bath mat. Didnt you get a new one for Christmas? I love your card and your case, fruitcake. the flowers are a perfect accent to such a pretty card.
