Who doesn't love Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge time - not me!!! Each week we love to the inspiration you bring us and this past week has been no exception - you are all amazing!! This week I have had the privilege of playing with one of the digi's from our weekly sponsor our very own Priscilla, of "priscillastyles" Store
Don't you love this image - my Mum has a lamp like this in her house and it is fabulous so I was excited to see Priscilla draw one. I used a mix of Chalks and Prismacolors to get the right shade of yellow - I am not really a yellow person but it just seemed to go with this image for me!
I used DP from DCWV One Upon a TIme' Stack and added a strip of CS embossed with the D'Vine Swirls Embossing Folder - I always love the movement this folder gives to a card! The image is cut out and popped up on foam dots, onto some white CS that has been distressed and had some paper piercing added to the corners! I added three small circles to the top and bottom - to look like scallops!!
How did you go with the circle - I was glad to have this SU one on hand and cut some acetate out and tapped it to the back of the circle - it worked well! PHEW!! A layered flower and some nail bling is added as final touches.
You know I wasn't going to resist one of Michelle Perkett's images don't you - how is this adorable puppy - way too irresistible for me! I printed it twice and cut out one image, colouring it with SU Chalks and popping it up on foam dots!
I used light grey around some of the edges and added some glitter around the tag - hard to see I know! Kaiser flowers have been added to the top and the bottom and attached with white brads,
The sentiment circle is from an older Stampin' Up set (thank you Melinda!!) and is popped up on foam dots! You can see the dimension here....
So there you have it - now it is your turn!! Here is this weeks sketch...it's "YOUR PICK" Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between. Remember to click on the sneak peek button on the side bar for the following weeks sketch each Friday.

Linda, not just one, but two fantastic creations for the MM sketch this week. Gosh, where do I start??? The first one is done to perfection using Priscilla's oil lamp image. The idea for the spotlighting was brilliant. You've colored it so well and your papers and sponging are top notch!
ReplyDeleteMichelle's puppy image is so, so, so SWEET. I love the way you just added hints of color. I need to get better at that! Oh, so much I could learn, so little time!! Your flowers, dp and color combo are fantastic too!!

ReplyDeleteHi Linda!
ReplyDeleteI was so sure that I had been over here earlier this week to drool over your oil lamp card, but I guess I have just been drooling and forgetting to leave a comment. Sorry for that! Can I use the excuse that you left me speachless? I think I still am - I LOVE this! I love how you spotlighted it - it gowes so beautiful! And the details - the gold pearls, the piercing and the flower - the whole thing is just so warm and inviting.
Your puppycard is supercute! It makes me smile!
Have a great day my friend!
Hugs
