MMSC66 Sunny Days

Wahoo - time for another Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - I don't know about you, but I am ITCHING to get happening this week!!  It seems lately I have not been able to get enough of Priscilla's sketches - they are so creative and get me thinking outside the square and I LOVE THAT - don't you!!?

My first card this week (yes I have made two again!! LOL!)  is using one of Priscilla's newer images - and who doesn't love sunflowers - they can make anyone smile!  When I first looked at this sketch I thought okay, this is going to be interesting'' - as soon as I started working with it - I loved it....

I coloured the sunflower with SU Chalks, cut it out and popped it up on foam dots.  Deciding which DP's to use was the hardest part of this card - I went with these Stampin' Up ones that I had lying around in my scraps bin from scrapbooking class!  The bling - well, I had to hand glue each gem on there, I used a glue

stick and a toothpick and I gotta tell you - I don't think my eyes have been focusing properly since!! LOL!

My second card is made an image by the Divine Miss M (Michelle Perkett that is), our monthly sponsor - I just love Michelle's whimsical images, they are in a league of their own - if you haven't checked them out - you need to...

This card took me some time to make - at first I emailed  Priscilla and told her I had make the ugliest card ever - not because of the image, but the way I had put it together BUT I was determined to persevere and fine tune what had made it UGLY - finally yesterday I found what it was - the ribbon I had chosen - originally I had used a white ribbon with pink starts, thinking pretty and soft - but it was just too washed out - so changed to the black and white and wha-la - instant improvement.

This adorable image is coloured with SU Chalks and I have added Kindy Glitz to the wings...and...to the eyelid - a major achievement when my eyes had not yet recovered from the card above!  LOL!

The DP is gorgeous in its own right and has photographed perfectly, I added one of these delish roses that I won in a Blog Candy and the black gems - there was no way I was going to do the toothpick thing again!!

Before we go any further.....NOW we are on Facebook!! Yes, that is right..we are jumping on the bandwagon there too.
