MMSC46 Sweet Dreams

Hello everyone, are you ready for this weeks  Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge!?!  We have been loving having so many of you playing and being able to visit your blogs, you are all amazing!!   How about all of the 'goings on' last week - well, stay tuned as there is never a dull moment here, but first, my card!


I am using this adorable image 'Jenna' from D'Amour Allure, this weeks sponsor.- Janna has been such a delight to work with.  As I coloured her I could see it was going to be an easy card to make - you know how it is - some just come together almost by themselves.  I decided on a pink, black and white colour combination, keeping it feminine and incorporating the black with the night sky!  The image  is popped up on foam dots.     
                                                  

This gorgeous pearl swirl is also from D'Amour Allure- it is the first time I have used them and love how they look, a little bit fiddly but I am sure it gets easier the more you use them.  I attached the pearl across the various layers and they bring it all together in that corner!


Of course I had to make an easel card - I am right into them at the moment and love the way they for beautifully into the envelopes made with Priscilla's envelope kit!. 


I love using the kit from 'priscillastyles' STORE, and feel that they take the card to another level, it has been a pleasure giving my cards to friends when they come in these gorgeous envelopes - thank you Priscilla for letting us showcase them this month - I have loved you being the monthly sponsor, it has been so much fun - and YOU can win an amazing March Monthly PRIZE from "priscillasytles" STORE just by playing along with the MMSC this month!!


As you can see you can decorate these envelopes anyway you like and you can see from the photo that they have depth and hold those gorgeous 3D 'works of the heart,' you have worked so hard on, so beautifully - no crushed cards now!! LOL!
Now for this weeks sketch - you can check here for our CAS version - it is as easy as 1-2-3

  14. What an adorable card. She looks so peaceful sitting there staring at the moon. What a darling little girl. I love the colorcombo and that big pearl on the bottom half of the card. Your coloring is fantastic as always, I really like how you have made the light from the moon shine in her hair.

  35. I love Jenna done with that color combo! What beautiful papers and that pearl swirl in the corner....Wow, have to have some of them! I loved seeing this stamp done by three of us, it's always fun to see how everyone sees the image through their eyes. Your envelope is a stunner! I am also loving these envelope templates, and they make such a nice presentation. When you give someone a beautiful set like this one, they sure know you care. Just lovely, Linda!!!
