MMSC88 Raining Hearts

Where did the week go - I can't believe that January is nearly gone - for us that means school holidays are coming to an end - our kids are back to school on 7 February and NOT looking forward to it!  I can't say I am either - I am loving the slower pace of life and not running to any timetables!!  But one thing I am looking forward to is this weeks  Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge!!!

I have used an image from "priscillastyles" Store - don't you just love this Raining Hearts image!  I have coloured it with the fabulous shimmer products from our monthly sponsor Lindy's Stamp Gang.

I wanted to use the shimmer on the image but did not want to spray the whole thing so decided to use a paint brush and add it that way - the effect is fabulous and sadly is not captured well with the camera  The trunk is painted with the Moon Shadow Mist in Buccaneer Bay Blue.

I used the Starburst Spray in Azure Sea Asters on the Scalloped Oval - I got a pleasant surprise to find that it had gold shimmer through it - you have to love that!!  The whole card has a metallic look IRL and is very effective - I will definitley be using this technique again!

The Large Scalloped Oval and Classic Oval Nestibilities are cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur - I am really loving how easy it is to use - you get crisp cut lines every time!!

This card is for the following Challenges:

Woodware USA - Anything Goes

The Stamp Man - Distressing

Crafty Purple Frog - Distressing

Stamp with Fun - Blue and Brown
