Oh you have to see the inspiration:
Jocelyn has a way with layers, and mixed media elements like no other... am I right?
So even if there is no guarantee of a re-run on the crowning, I just had to play along... here's my take:
Embossed lines, instead of circles; die cut "friend" instead of stamped; a little hole cutting action on the partial circle replaces the doilies [which I love, by the way] add a gorgeous water-colored Maggie's Roses cutaways, a little gold-dipped heart and leaves, and a few W&W sequins that always accompany our orders... bless their generous hearts! Jocelyn, I hope you'll forgive the lack of stitching... circa 1972 machine just didn't have the strength for it today =\
Here's a bit of a close-up:
Thanks Taheerah and Jocelyn for the gorgeous inspiration! And OH would I love to join you for that get-together whenever it happens - and I know it will happen!

Wow, this takes the crown in my opinion! I love this card Michele, you got so much detail in this card as well as many techniques. Love it! Hugs, Brenda
Such a lovely take on Jocelyn's style, Gossip Queen! :-) Your use of color (ah sunshiny yellow!), layers, texture by way of embossing are all lovely. Your sewing machine will thank you for sparing it and your card is not missing a thing. Thank you so much for defending your title and joining in with The Gossip Column challenge. :-)
love your take on this card - like the use of yellow colour and the polka dot background
Love the touches you've added here: the polka dot paper, the gold edges, the sponging. In my world, definitely 're-crown' worthy!
Hugs~c
