I didn't even try to make a duplicate of one of Queen Carol's (Gingerbeary cards, so I made a much simpler version of this card -- less layers, no flowers. I let the pretty Prima DP make up for the hand-made roses. I did, however, make an easel card like Carol's and used the same image.
Congratulations, Carol. Your work is spectacular!!! Enjoy your reign as Queen.

I had to laugh about that simplified version. I had that very same thought, Lois. I thought about calling this challenge a CAS of a case. Great card. Looks like you got out your crimper as well. I did too. A tool I haven't used in a while.

Lois, a lovely, lovely card to honor Queen Carol!! Her cards are so incredible and detailed that I doubt anyone can really CASE her. But we will all give it a go!!
