The Queen's Gift Cards

I have been making a few gift cards for the Queens Ink.  I have made 30 in three days.  Needless to say I am a little card making out.  Of course once you get the design down the rest is easy.  I make 10 of each design.  This time I thought I would step it up a bit and do a Zentangle card for her. I first stamped her image and then tangled around it.  I have wanted to do this forever with a stamp.    Its a little plain but thought with the Zentangle it needed to be.  While I was at the store  I noticed a couple lined stamps on the discount table.  I will be going back today to get them.  When I looked at them I thought they would be nice to do like a cut glass technique but now I think they would be perfect to tangle between the lines. 


Then there was the tri-fold card.  Still trying to use her stamps in all her gift cards wasn't the problem.  Trying to find the purple flowers was the problem.  I started with the small roses.  I got those from Michaels so when I went to get more they didn't have them.  I wanted to keep the size but forget that so I got the larger roses.  I ran out of those so I tried to make ribbon roses with seam binding from Martha Stewart.  Do they even look close to a rose?

Then there was the last card.   I can't believe that I didn't get a picture of it.  I will have to see what I can do when I get to the Queens Ink today. After I find more purple flowers for the Zentangle cards that is.  .  :(
