February Theme Swaps

Queens - Regal Kind

Last year I won first place at a Gecko Galz challenge and chose a selection of papers which I thought I could use for my swaps this coming year.
I sorted out Spring Queens and chose three for the ATCs on this theme.
In my files I sorted some text backing paper and then my darling sweet printer would only print half a page so I only used the paper for two cards.  I found a frame that would be just perfect among my other files so I was all set to go to work.

I used the backing paper on this card, cut my 'Queen' to size and then rounded all the corners of both papers.  I attached the text, adhered the top half of the image and then place some pearl flowers (from stash) underneath.  I used glue dots to attache the flowers themselves and then adhered the rest of the image.

I used the same paper for my second card and, once attached to the base, punched the corners with a shaper punch.  I wrapped three gold ribbons round the centre of the card and then attached the image at an angle.  I titled this card - cheeky!

I cut out the centre oval of the backing paper and then cut the image to fit the frame.  Once I had attached both of these papers to the base card, I added a tiny gold bow .... the ribbon is tiny if the bow turned out larger than I expected!!





My returns:

Full length portrait on glitter paper.
Thank you BarbaraB.

This Queen may be old but she's still lovely!

Thank you GwynethRose.

This is perfect for a Royalist such as I!
