The Queen for the Day #68 is Roxie aka Rox71. I found this beautiful card I wanted to case and I used fruit instead of flowers and made my own mat because I didn't have time to cut out my image or do an out-of-box using a die cut that was smaller than my image. Hearts, Flowers, Love by Rox71 at Splitcoaststampers
The fruit image I'm using is Rubber Stampede, I believe. I think it is an ebay order and I have no name for the image. If anyone knows and will let me know, I'll post it. It looks like peaches, so I colored it that way and then popped up the image.
Instead of stamping my black and white border, I used a chipboard border my sister had given me. I thought it was perfect. My punched border is English Ivy by EK Success.
I'm entering this card into a few other challenges found on my blog.
Roxie, I hope you are enjoying your time as Queen. I'm a little late as I have had visitors this weekend.

Benzi, the colors on this are amazing (oh wait - is that orange again - what are you thinking?????). I love the way you softly colored these yummy looking peaches and the chipboard and punched borders are great together. I may have to case this case! Great card (but I think you should have done apples or something red this close to football season). Bama Hugz!
