MMSC67 Triple the Fun!!!

 As we begin this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge we are saying a with a HUGE thank you to a couple of our GDT members. Pam and Brenda- It has been a pleasure the last three months creating, laughing and just goofing off with you guys. You are both so much fun and I hope you come back to play with us again really soon. We are not saying goodbye, because I know you both said you would be playing and stalking us ..LOL  As we see two of our team members leaving us, we are thrilled to say that we have three more additions to the team starting next week. I am so excited to tell you who they are, but I will just have to wait and tell you next week.

This week I am going to shock you as I have not got two cards for you this week - but THREE!! No it is not because I don't have a life, but there is a reason ....My first card is made using one of Michelle Perketts gorgeous whimsical images, Abby and Walter.  Now here comes my reason - after making my cards for the challenge we realised that we had not used any of Michelle's images - and we couldn't have that, we all love Michelle and her delightful work, so I quickly made this card!

Now I have to say, it was not without it's share of trials - as I was cutting around Abby I cut off her legs by mistake - Michelle we could have started  a new line of stamps featuring disabled images!!  I emailed the girls and told them that I had made Abby a amputee but had googled how to be a Neurosurgeon to reattach them!  Not to be outdone Walter lost his tail and it had to be carefully taped back on - then I over sponged around his butt and it looked like he had a terrible accident (ewww!!!)  - thankfully some wipes and an eraser helped there - what a laugh I have had with this card - finally it was finished and you are seeing the finished item - what do you think - can you see the 'trouble spots!?! LOL!

 I have used Priscilla's images for two cards!  The first is using this gorgeous Chandelier digi.  I don't know about you but I just love Chandelier's - we have a gorgeous one hanging in our room it holds tealights and looks amazing when lit.  I love the ambiance that it gives!

  I kept is very simple as I wanted to highlight the gorgeous DP from Stampin' Up, embossing one side of it and sponging around the edges of both pieces.    I added a piece of lace and threaded it through a pearl buckle/slider and finished off with Corners and small gems!

My third and final card is using Priscilla's new image The Dragonfly - these images certainly make the sketches easy.  How do you like my gorgeous DP - it is from one of my Design Team Sistah's, Gunn - you can imagine my surprise  when  I came home to find an AMAZING RAK from Gunn - it was filled with the most delish things to use for cards - the gorgeous ribbon and bling was part of this RAK - thank you so much Gunn, I am having so much fun with it!!

I coloured a second set of wings with Pearlised Chalks and added fine lines of Kindy Glitz to try and add that almost iridescent shimmer dragonflies wings have and then popped them up on foam dots!  You can see some of the shimmer and dimension below!

These cards are for the following challenges:

The Pink Elephant - Ribbon and Sparkle - all 3 cards

Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes - all 3 cards

Everybody Art Challenge - In the Garden - card 3
