This is to honor Kathy LeDonne, our Queen for the day #203, and for today's F4A... show a little sunshine. I cased her GORGEOUS creation HERE
I did not have the stamps Kathy used, nor the ones from the person she had cased for this card, so I had to hunt a bit to find images that were mainly solid, with just a few little lined art ones as well.
I am definitely challenged when it comes to making little circles with markers! They did not come out round, so I resorted to my eraser for the green circles, and then bling for the pink and yellow. IRL I like the extra dimension it adds, but I don't think that translates to the photo. I also opted to use a black marker to separate the masked sentiment area, and I cut the bottom edge with a SB scalloped die.
Congratulation Kathy! I had a blast strolling through your fun gallery and casing something that's totally different from what I've been doing of late. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Thanks for looking!!!

I love the tropical garden you've created on this!! The colors are so summer like (makes me think of warm weather) and I love the gems accents. Lovely CASE of Kathy's card!
