whatever the weather one thing is for sure - Tuesday means Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge time!!


I am using Sophia's Stroll from this weeks sponor, the lovely Jeni from D'Amore Allure - I love her vintage elegance!  Sophia has been cut out using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and the Labels Ten Nestibilitie.


What vintage lady would be complete without some divine flowers


The panels and borders have been embossed with some Stampin' Up Embossing Folders - thanks Ann!

    This is one elegant card Linda - I love it, and the sepia tones, pearls and flowers you used 'fit' the image perfectly :-) The embossing on the base panel looks like lace at first glance.

    Great sketch! I love the way you've used your vintage lady. The ink distressing is just perfect on the oval panel and around the edge of the embossing. ~hugs~
