MMSC85 Framed Butterfly/ Celebration

Hello and welcome - I am excited and I hope you are too -  it is time for the first Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - the new Design Team have been amazing with their sketches this week - I know you are going to love each one!  Sit back and prepare to be inspired!

I used one of Priscilla's new images - Happy New Year - for this gift bag - it is perfect for many occasions - New Year, Graduation, Birthday, Wedding, new job - just to name a few!

I have coloured it with SU Chalks and tried to keep the colours more masculine - I am endeavouring to see that our DH's are not left our of the equation!  LOL!

 The sentiment is a SU one, punched out with a Circle Punch and layered onto a larger circle.  An old button from my stash has been added. 

You can see the dimension of the gift bag here - these are so easy to make and as you can see look great with an image in the front!  A number of people have asked about a Tutorial for these  - I will be working on one over the next week - you will see it HERE!!

 My second card is create using one of the 'priscillastyles' Butterflies - if you know me at all, you will know I LOVE these butterflies

The frame is a Diecut that I borrowed from my friend Ann, we had a fun morning running off each other Dies - it certainly adds to the variety we have at our fingertips - thanks Ann!

You can just see the shimmer on the butterfly - capturing it is an ellusive dream!  LOL!
