Here is my card using "Queen of Hearts"

I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then cut her and matted her with Nesties. She needed some bling as all Queen's do so I stickle'd the hearts as if they were Ruby's with Red Candy Cane Stickles. Then dotted all the scallops cuz it just needed more!

My papers are from Graphic 45. Love the bold dark colors with her. I layered with Back card stock as my base, they red and dark yellow card stock. With the pattern paper in place I zig zag stitched it all together.

Felt like an easel card... so I did it all over again for the base. I used my computer and typed out my sentiment. Just felt like a funny sentiment... LOL

I added lots of Mulberry roses and these beady floral centers to the front. Inside I added a bling scroll, this is to help hold up the easel card when standing.

Here is my close up of the "Queen"
