The QFTD is Cathleen/ctorina. Her gallery is loaded with the most beautiful cards you would ever hope to see. Talk about talent..she has it! She uses lots of punches and many of her cards have white backgrounds but I decided to case this card, Dream by ctorina at Splitcoaststampers where she has used designer paper. Mine may be a little busier than a lot of hers but I really loved this beauty she created.
I kept the layout and placed flowers along the bottom as she did
Different image, punches, paper, and added a bird to the top.
I stamped my large flower, watercolored, cut out and popped. Punched the two smaller ones and watercolored.
Enjoy your day, Cathleen. Hope you have lots of fun seeing what everyone does with your cards.
Punch tally: 4,000 Ooh, I meant 4 LOL but one was used 2 ways and one was using 2 different sizes, so 4 and 1 die cut = 25 lbs. lost

We could expect nothing less than stellar punched beauty from one of the original punchkateers and you have delivered it with this vibrant, glowing dazzler, Brenda. Looks like 4,000 punches to me!!! And, even the flowers in your dp mimic the "for real" punched ones! Thanks too, sweetie, for dropping a comment into my sadly neglected gallery--I've been busy, but what a treat to see you and Kim and read your sweet words almost immediately after my sheep box upload.
