Thoughts and Prayers All Around

The Queen for the Day, at SCS, last Friday was Mary aka jandjcc.  I want to CASE many of the cards from her amazing gallery!  Here is the card that I chose to CASE this time.  And here's my version....

I really loved the way she swirled the flower spray.  I went with a brighter palate, mainly because these were the colors in the Color Throwdown last week.  I'm too late, as usual, but I'm glad I tried these colors.

The branch and flowers were inked with SU Markers, Certainly Celery and Pumpkin Pie.  After I stamped once on the card, I stamped again without reinking on an envelope.  Then I went back with my Melon Mambo marker and colored the centers of the flowers and finished them off with a dot from the White Gel Pen in the very center.

I'll send this over to Paper Players for their Kind Thanks Challenge.

And the TLC challenge, at SCS, is to Decorate the Envie.

I'm going to have to stop.  Mr. Brown just delivered my new IDEA BOOK & CATALOG and I keep having to stop and look.  I think I'll stop this and just concentrate on that!  I wish I could show it to you today :>(, but I can tell you that most of my favorites from the mini catalogs made it into the big one!  Yeah!!  And there's five new In Colors too and well as the wonderful In Colors from last year.  Hopefully I can get my head out of the book long enough to make another card to share with you tomorrow!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Oh, and I was a top pick at jac-inks last week.  That gave me a big smile!

Enjoy!
