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!
