MMSC99 Love Nature

This weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge is here - are you ready for it!?!?  There is an incredible amount of inspiration to be found and a fabulous sketch to inspire you - throw in a prize or two and what more could we want!?!


This week I have the honour of using an image from one of the original MMSC DT - Shawne - her wonderful Studio 313 images are available at McMahon Five Designs - the site of Sue, another of the original MMSC DT - way to go girls - we are so proud of you!  


The image has been printed and layered onto black card stock.  I have  added a handmade flower along with a Flourish from Tim Holtz and some leaves from Stampin' Up.


The background DP (that you can just see here) is from the wonderful Gunn - the photos so not show is off well enough - it is divine!!  Thanks Gunn!!


I have added a Vintage Corner and the gorgeous Floral Motif Accent from Spellbinders - these have been cut with my Spellbinders Grand Calibur.  I love the way the Die Cuts can dress up a card so easily!!

This card is for the following Challenges:
Creative Stamp Friends - Swirls
Lexis Creations - Monochromatic
Magical Mondays - Magical Pearls and Swirls

    Love this sentiment Linda. Van Gogh is my favorite artist ever. probably for the way he painted common folks in the days, working fields in the hot summer. Really love that gorgeous flower you added and the fine scrolls. You are so good at this, Van Lucas is what you are. hugsxo
