This is my card for QFTD BigFootBecky. What a deserving Queen. Your gallery is gorgeous - just gorgeous. I picked the most beautiful card in there. This one
I kept pretty much the same layout, but changed the colors, flowers, sentiment and placement of butterfly.
Butterfly did not cooperate, so she is the ghost from Inkadinkado. Flowers are primas attached with buttons on the sewing machine.
Flower image is stamped in Colorbox White and has Stickles added. I moved the sentiment, changed it's location and also the message. Colorbox White is smooshed over the top. I think it looks like a Butterfly in a Snowstorm, but let's not talk about snow, as I hear more is coming.
Becky, enjoy your reign as much as I have enjoyed your gallery.

This is really pretty. Wow - I so wish I had a sewing machine and knew how to use it so I could sew my cards and attach buttons! I should have stuck with those sewing classes I took in the early 1980s. Lovely case - I miss you!

I knew which card you picked right away too!! I LOVE yours....I tried to do the 'artsy' thing and I just couldn't get it right so I finally gave up and went more traditional. I really need more practice playing and experimenting and shading and smudging...I don't think it's something you can learn or case...you have to just do it. Anyway....I'm rambling....your card is absolutely outstanding.....a real piece of art....as is the original....Thanks so much for sharing!

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

Carol, this wasone of my choices too, but I didn't think I could handle it and didn't want to mess up. You did a wonderful job of CASEing the Queens lovely creation!!

Your background is AMAZING!! Love everything about it- even the ghost butterfly!! And the pops of color in the flowers are a reminder to me that Spring will be here... eventually!! TFS
