The Jewel in my Crown

Hi you all!
Well, actually, the only crowns I have are dental ones, without jewels, but never mind!
The challenge over at  Out of a Hat this week is 'jewel in the crown', and here is my card:


The background has been stamped using various stamps from LaBlanche, and then the lion and window were stamped twice and fussy cut to make them pop a bit. 
And someone is behind the window, watching....



Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for coming by!

    Looks like the Queen is eyeing the lions crown, maybe she likes his better since his is gold! lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina where you are appreciated for stopping by! ♥

    You reminded me that I need to be crowned and I don't mean as a Queen! I do love that sentiment you used with the lion! I do love how you put it all together with such a fun vibe! Hope you are enjoying the week! Hugs!

    Eine wundervolle Karte, Valerie. Mir gefällt, dass sie so dreidimensional wirkt. Die Queen hinter Gittern hat was. Sie sitzt in ihrem goldenen Käfig, während der Löwe seine Krone in Freiheit tragen darf.
    Aber es scheint sie (noch?) nicht zu stören, denn sie lächelt.

    Oooh I love this Valerie, you can always pick out a La Blanche stamp can't you. So, is the queen just looking out of the window, or is she locked in the tower lol xx
