To say that I love Harriet’s style and ability to turn CAS into WOW is an understatement. I was delighted that Harriet was chosen Queen so that I could try to do what she does. Well, there is more to it than meets the eye, I’ll tell you. But I did try. I picked out half a dozen different cards and finally chose this one. I really wanted a butterfly on my card so I chose her Thank You CAS66 card. I was attracted to it because of the butterfly and layout and because I have the same DP (unused). Then I didn’t use it. Can’t explain it. I had an Anne Ryan moment and took off in a different direction—paper and color wise only. The theme and design are the same.
You know I love your designs, Harriet. Congratulations and enjoy your week.
IÂ’ll be back later to comment as I have a huge mess to clean up.

Beautiful! Love that red butterfly. Really love the two scallop edges in red and pink that leads the eye to that sentiment! Great job with this.
Thanks for taking the time this week to honour Queen Harriet with your lovely card.

I don't know what DP you did not use - but the one you ended up with is gorgeous. I agree, for me there is always more than meets the eye! You did well, for sure.

WOW! Fabulous card! Love the use of this dp! It's my current favorite! I also like how you stamped the butterfly onto colored cardstock and cut it out! The multi punched stripes are cool, too!
