Karen aka imastampin was crown QFTD69 last Friday. Again, I am late to the crowning. I went through her beautiful and creative gallery and found this card to case: Extra Extra by imastampin at Splitcoaststampers
Now, I'm not even going to try to tell you all that I explained on my blog that I did and re-did on this card. Yikes! It was quite the nightmare getting it finished.
I kept your sketch and changed the images. I hope you don't mind I used the colors from Flourishes Timeless Tuesday blog challenge #127.
I hope your Queendom is going well and you feel very royal this week.

What a pretty CASE! Your row of water hydrangeas is beautifully designed and colored and your handmade DP is beautiful. Love the border...I haven't seen that punch yet. Of course these are my favorite colors, so you know I love it. Just beautiful Benzi!

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