Today, the QFTD is Linda aka Hotwheels. I really dug into her wonderful gallery and found some awesome cards to create and chose this one: flowers by hotwheels at Splitcoaststampers
I kept her layout except I left off the lower panels because I had made my bg with the techinique, Letterpress with Impressabilities, and wanted it to show although I see it is still mostly covered and too dark to show. I am using a different image and dp.
Stamped image twice and popped the flowers. For corners, I used the MS Punch Around the Page , using waste from the punched corner.
Linda, I hope you really enjoy your time as QFTD. It is such an honor and you so deserve this special time.

Gorgeous watercoloring and I love the purples. What a clever way to use a punch! The embossed bg looks great too. What a pretty card to honor Queen Linda.
