MMSC103 A Touch of Renassiance

I am late!  I am late - for a very important date - and it is not to the Mad Hatters Tea Party - close to it though (LOL)  It is this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. 


 Blogger has been offline to me since an update over 24 hours ago and it is finally sorted out - so here I am with my card for this weeks challenge! I am always waiting for the next sketch - they are so inspiring aren't they - I think I have forgotten how to create without one!!

I have used this divine image from McMahon Five Designs - I have coloured it with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol, cutting the image out with the Spellbinders Grand Calibur using Spellbinders Labels 18 Nestibilitie and popping it onto the Fleur De Lis Rectangles Nestibilitie (thanks Jayne for the loan of it!!)  The background Nesties are from the Floral Doily Accents


The corners have been embellished with mulberry roses and punched branches


and beautiful pearls - the large heart pearl is from my dear friend and Design Team Sistah Gunn (loving it Gunn!)



You can see some of the dimension in this photo - hopefully!  LOL!

This card is for the following challenges:
Challenge Crazy - Anything Goes
DDH Challenges - Bling
Kadoodle Doodles - Lots of Layers
