I'm flattered to have been asked by TrishG to be this week's guest designer for her Queen for the Day challenge. The Queen she has chosen is Sharon (shendrian).
Sharon has a lovely gallery and, because I mainly make Christmas cards, I was immediately drawn to her wonderful CAS Christmas cards. It was very hard to choose one to CASE but when I saw this one:
I decided it was the perfect design to use for a poinsettia. My friend, Loll Thompson, gave me a great package of her "card candy" which included poinsettias. So she gets the credit for making the poinsettia. I had the perfect dp and embossing folder to go with it. I kept Sharon's layout but changed the theme, added green to the colours, used ribbon on my sentiment, used a different label and tag, and changed the embossing folder.
Congratulations, Sharon, and thanks for a great card to CASE - I've got another CASE of it in the works as it's such a great layout.
