A New Queen

I had to brag a lot yesterday because it was 83 degrees at my house. Guess what? I cleaned house and made a card and didn't even go outside... until after dark... and it was gorgeous...a ton of sunshine. I must be crazy. Today will be 59 degrees so I've missed out. But, the robins are showing up and that is a great sign. I love when they come because I know Spring is on the way. Of course, that means tornado weather but I'll enjoy what I can.

I'm playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Queen for the Day challenge #101. The new queen is Patricia aka kokirose and she has a super gallery of cards. She does wonderful stitching but you'll notice I have none. My sis gave me a new sewing machine and I never have time to learn to use it. Hope she doesn't want it back...LOL She won't!!! Anyway, this is the card I cased. In't it gorgeous???  I kept Pat's sketch and changed the image, paper, and ribbon. I used die cuts for the greenery instead of stamping.

My image is from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company and is called Dogwood Blossoms. I decided to use glossy accents on my blooms and really like it. The paper is MFP, A Heinrich Company premium cardstock in Licorice Whips. My dp is from the scrapbook store with no name on it. The green is from my scraps.

The die I'm using is a Memory Box die called Madera Corner. I die cut and clipped off pieces to use where needed. The ribbon is black gingham check from Offray Ribbon.
