MMSC89 Puppy Love/Vintage Wings

It is Tuesday and Tuesday means it is time for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and we all love that don't we!  This weeks sketch is another fabulous one from Priscilla - I don't know about you but I have a;most forgotten how to create without one of these sketches.

  Speaking of creating - here is my card for this week!


I have used an image from our monthly sponsor Paper Pretties - the image is called Romeo - don't you love that!


I have coloured him with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen, he is printed into the Lacy Circles Nestibilitie and cut out with my Spellbinders Grand Calibur.


I had printed another image and was going to layer him but I forgot and spent ages colouring him, so just the little card with a heart on is popped up! LOL!  The paw brads are part of the first Blog Candy I ever won and are perfect with this image.


My second card is for the "priscillastyles' Design Team and I have used Priscilla's fabulous Dragonfly image - I printed a lot of these as I love it so cannot help myself and just have to use it often - I love the layered effect you can get with it!


I have layered it onto a large flower that was part of a fabulous RAK I received from my Design Team sister and friend Gunn - the gorgeous DP, flowers and pearls are from Gunn also - thank you my friend - this is a shared card!  :LOL!!


The Oval has been cut with the Spellbinders Classic Oval Nestibilitie and embossed with D'vine Swirls embossing Folder - I love the movement that this folder gives.

 I am thrilled to be linking this last card to a special challenge that is starting today and isthat is hosted by my dear friend and SU Demo Ann and some of her Team - jac-inks Papercraft Challenge they KICKING off with a fabulous Colour Challenge!

  2. I am gobsmacked by how much you do and how many challenges you participate in Linda. Amazing. Whilst the puppy is cute I just love the dragon fly. It looks so lifelike I could pluck it off a branch here in my garden, mind you the ones here don't, well I think they don't have jewelled middles.
