MMSC72 Pelican Brief/Bridal Bliss

It is great to see you here for this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, there have been so many of you playing along and we love being inspired by your amazing creativity!  I have made a  few cards for this weeks challenge - the first is using an image from your monthly sponsor Sunshine and Giggles

I coloured the pelican with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen and popped him up with foam tape onto an Oval that has been cut with a Nestie and embossed with the D'vine Swirls Embossing Folder - this has been layered onto a Labels 4 Nestie

I found these shells embellies in my stash - how perfect are they!  The mesh is a remnant from a screen window and I loved the netting look of it, the final touch is the braid, which just fits so well with the textured CS - in my opinion!! LOL! 

My second card is made using one of Priscilla's images, you can find them here - I think this would be among my favourites of the images - I have embossed the corset using the Victoria Embossing Folder.  It is layered onto some embossed and flocked wallpaper using foam tape/  This is actually a Gate Fold card but I forgot to photograph it that way - where was my head!?!

I added some gorgeous braid that I got from my dear friend and SU Demo Ann - it was in a bag of lace that Ann so generously gave me - thanks Ann!!  You can see more of the details in this close up!  The gorgeous roses are from my DT sister Gunn - in the amazing RAK she sent me - thank you Gunn - I am loving EVERYTHING and slowly starting to use it!!

This last card is made using Priscilla's gorgeous butterfly image - who doesn't love a butterfly.  This one is in very different colours for me, but I was using some leftover DP's and card stock that I got from Ann at our last Srapbooking Class - I am loving these summery colours.  The flowers again are from Gunn and I have added bling on either side.

As you can see below the butterfly is coloured with Chalks and mounted onto embossed card stock and backed with a scalloped oval.  The lace panel is has had brads added and I have finished off with vintage corners.
