Summer has flown and I am so far behind with the SCS challenges I was going to do that I can no longer recall which ones they were. You could say our summer took a sideways turn the day our basement flooded...
I have been trying to catch up on the QFTD challenges though and managed to make a few cards to honour some of the recent "recipients of the crown". Still have my list of the other SCS royalty that I haven't managed to CASE yet...
A very special great-aunt of mine recently passed away - she was 96 and her funeral was more of a celebration of a wonderful life than a sad occasion. She will be dearly missed by the entire family so I made seven different cards - one for each of her children.
The QFTD24 honour went to my "nearly a neighbour" and fellow Canuck peggy-sue. One of these days I'll find my way to her stamping place/safe haven. I actually chose two of Peggy-Sue's cards for inspiration. This one is a CASE of her Quick Embossed Butterfly card. I won't put 'quick' in my title because of all that fussy-cuttin'! I coloured the images, overstamped with versamark and clear embossed before cutting them out. Layered them with dimensionals. Used a MS PATP sponged with Certainly Celery as the backdrop. Loved the way this turned out.
PT: 2 punches for that fun PATP border. What fun!
