MMSC111 Flower Fetish

*** If you are here for the Layers of Color Sneak Peek - please scroll down or CLICK HERE! ***

Can you believe it is July already - over half the year has gone - we will be preparing for Christmas before we know it!!!  LOL - I know some of you are already creating your Christmas cards.....I am not quite there yet!!

This week for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge I have something fun to show you - we have made more than a card - how could we not with our wonderful sponsor this month - Petaloo has supplied the Design Team with so many flowers, a card would not be enough to show them off - besides that - they just inspire you to create. 


Our sponsor this week is none other than the lovely Priscilla herself - I do not get a chance to create with her stunning images as much as I would like - to I had fun with this Victorian Hat


I coloured it with Distressing Inks - a different colouring medium for me - it was fun and I love the effect it has.


I had a lot of fun with the flowers from our monthly sponsor Petaloo - added  some inked edges and a little bit of shimmer

For the one above I used some Tim Holtz Crackle - I have never used it before but LOVE how it turned out - it works really well on these flowers - I am loving all of the different ways you can colour them!


I continued in with the frame in the same way - keeping the nostalgic feel - this is a birthday gift for a deear friend of mine who has celebrated a 'landmark' birthday and I wanted to keep it vintage - just her style - no not age!  LOL!

As you can see, the flowers come in so many styles - my mind is racing to see how I can colour them differently each week for the month of June!
This card is for the following challenges:
Bee Crafty - Must Use Digi
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes
Wee Memories - Summer Time
Bling It On - Anything Goes
Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
Happileigh Scrapping - Frame It
Hooked on Craft - Flowers

    Linda, you did such an amazing job coloring the flowers. I love the subtle shading on the roses. The crackle paint looks great too. That frame is just so beautiful! The embossed and distressed paper looks wonderful with the gorgeous flower cluster. Fantastic job on both creations!
