Thank you to Milk N Coffee for this wonderful image that I got to use:-) she was wonderful to work with!

I paired her up with EP Paridise beach and used a tiny bit of surfboard paper on the fishtale banner from MFT and the Marianne D "florish die" in black seemed to be a wonderful add on !

The Kings Birthday with a Twist

Hello , It's my turn to feature a project, At TSQ Featured Designer blog!I decided to use The Kings Birthday Stamp set along with a fun Kraftin Kimmie image called Tabitha! I know ...you are all thinking I've lost my mind, but I am showing you that just because it is a set that says The King, doesn't mean the sentiments can only be used for a Guy card! The Queen is one smart cookie;-)

Now What I did was stamp the "Birthday Wishes" first, then I took the "Enchanting stamp" and curved it over the Birthday wishes which is the joy of the Queens stamps:-) It gave a little bit of a different twist on making the sentiment .

My card is 5.5x5.5 and I added a few of the Queens Royal jewels, some Paper flowers and swirl die cuts in yellow from Marianne D's collection. The Design paper is from a DCWV stack
