MMSC51 Sitting Pretty

Can you believe it is Midnight Madness Sketch Challenges 51st Sketch - that means that next week it is our Anniversary!!!!!  Would it surprise you to know we have BIG plans....you will have to come back next week and find out how to be part of it!!  You are not going to want to miss this!!

This week I am thilled to be using an image from D'Amour Allure, by the name of Sasha how adorable is this image.  I coloured her with SU Chalks/Pastels and a Blender Pen.  I also added Kindy Glitz lightly around the hem of her dress and the umbrella, but typically it doesn't show up in the photo.

Sasha has been cut out and popped her up on foam dots onto the Olive CS.  I have included a couple of photos to give you an idea of dimension.  The Olive CS is layered onto white and onto another layer of Olive CS.  I used some lovely old lace down the right side of the image, rather than DP, the SU Eyelet Border Punch was so close to the lace, so added that rather than the scalloped one down each side, sponged - of course!

This gorgeous bling is was a RAK from my DT Sister Jeni, whose image I am using today, by the way - thank Jeni - it is perfect with your divine image.   I found it a bit easier to use it this time than my first try.

I really enjoyed this particular skletch - thank you Priscilla for providing us with the constant inpiration - not just one but two choices - here is this weeks sketch, let's see what you can do with it!!

You can find 'Your Choice' here - remember it is 'easy as 1-2-3'

Working on this Design Team is such a pleasure for me and I value each one of these fabulous girls, in saying this it is never easy when one of them is moving on - today is one of 'those days' and it is with sad hearts that Carolyn is moving on.  Carolyn is one of those people in life that just quietly makes her way into your heart and before you realise it, she is a permanent resident - Carolyn, these friendship are not by chance my friend, I will miss you on the Team but am grateful that it is not good bye, I heard a saying...'friendships can be for a reason, a season or for life!!'  I know too that some have eternal value - so with that knowledge tucked securely away, I will say 'I will see you when I am looking at you sistah! {{{hugs}}}'
