I really enjoyed making this. First of all, I finally took the time to make a card just for fun, not for a DT. I have been wanting to use Princess Jennifer Latte from The Stamping Boutique and decided this was the perfect reason. She reminds me of my friend, and I don't mean that in a princess-y way, but in a stylish, mocha-sipping (or latte-sipping) way. I also wanted to make another joy fold card because I had fun making the first one.
.
I liberated some felt from my DD's bin of crafting goodies and created the rose out of it. I sprayed it with various shimmer mists until it was a more suitable color (meaning not the Peptobismo pink it originally was). I finished the inside with a sentiment from Create with TLC that says "I Declare You Queen for the Day".
That's all I have for today. Thank you for stopping by!

Cheryl, looks like I'm in good company! I love to make cards, but I'm horrible at sending them. It makes no sense, right?
This card is nice. Great coloring

Gorgeous card, I love the added rhinestones on the punch. That is a super cute image. I think we are like the painters wife, her house never gets painted. We make cards for everyone else, so when we need one we don't have any handy, lol.
Diva-licious! fantastic card and that flower is drool-worthy! thanks for playing along with us at the Shoe!
Wow this is such an amazing creation, and beautiful colours

Your post made me smile. I love the image (great colouring), and the sentiment you've used sounds perfect. I know what you mean about missing dates, I have them all in my calendar, but still manage to forget, even though I live by my calandar (lists for everything!). I'm sure your friend will appreciate your wonderful card. Thanks for joining in with our die/punches theme at Incy Wincy this week. Hope to see you again next week. Annette xx
