Hotwheels - Queen for the Day #9

I had such a blast sitting on the Queen for the Day throne at Splitcoaststampers last week. A huge thank you to all who took the time to visit my gallery and case a card in my honor!! You can view their awesome creations here: Queen for the Day #8 Gallery.

But all good things must come to an end, and today the crown and scepter are being passed on to Her Royal Highness Linda, aka hotwheels. No one loves creating pretty cards and sharing they with others to lift their spirits more than our sweet, sweet Linda. As you look through Linda's SCS gallery, you won't have any trouble picking out the card I selected to case!! Here are the cards which have been created in Linda's honor for her reign at Queen for the Day #9.!

The cardinal was stamped first and then masked. The pines were then added.
