OMG, if it's not Gingerbeary8 that was chosen Queen for the Day this week!! What a challenge this was. Have you seen her cards which she claims only takes a short time to create. It would take me years if I did everything from front to inside to the top of the inside to the envelope. I burned out after the front and one inside or else this would have never been uploaded. Carol, you are top notch and we all love you.
Carol is a fellow punchie and we call her Bearzi, so I decided to use these 2 cute bear buttons which I actually planned on sending her last b/day but didn't see them in the stack - SHOCKER right? So, I thought it would be cute to use them on this card since she loves bears.
I have no idea which card I cased. I got enveloped in all Carol's layers and this appeared out of nowhere. If I tried to kind of copy, it didn't flow, so I just got out some nesties, punches, borders and let it rip. Wish there was more sparkle, only on the b/flies and and ribbons cut for the center of the b/flies. So, Bearzi, this one is for you for better or for worse. You are not only an AMAZING crafter, you are also an OUTSTANDING person which so many of us have come to LOVE!!!
I used some unknown dsp if you can see it. Used a MS PATP and a white nestie underneath the image panels that I received from Maryleygo and finally found the perfect way to use it. (thanks Kookzi!!!)
I stamped a musical scoring b/g on the larger flower behind the two bears, added 3 nestie circles, punched sparkly butterflies sitting on flowers and a bow. The bow matches perfect IRL, but in the light, not so much. The main circular image panels were raised up on dimensionals.
Well, that's it folks. Trish, you really picked a wonderful Queen for this week, but it sure wore me out. Gotta go lay down in bed the rest of the day after this one!!
Thanks for taking a look and Bearzi ENJOY your very special week!
TIME TO MAKE THIS CARD: One second short of a heart attack!! LOL!!

What a perfect Bearzi card!! Your PATP was a perfect choice and the sheer ribbon and butterflies go so well with this. Mostly, Pamzi you really captured Carol's beautiful style with the layout and the way that she uses the little touches that make a Bearzi card so unique. Those little bears are just the icing the cake...perfect embellishment for the perfect card. Wonderful work my punchy friend!

Punches and papers flying everywhere on this one. And, in the end it is a spectacular Bearzi-like creation. Love the little teddies you put right in the center to honor Carol. Beauty abounds on this one, Pamzi (even if you did cheat and not case a particular card). Ha Seriously, I love it and the colors.
