MMSC112 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

**** If you are here for the Layers of Color New Release Blog Hop please scroll down to the next post or CLICK HERE ****

I am excited to show you my project for this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge

I had chosen this wonderful Vintage Car from "priscillastyles" Store and had no idea what I was going to create, but whatever it was - it was going to have this divine car and some of the fabulous flowers from this months sponsor Petaloo.  Now, I have to ask you - doesn't this car make you think of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - do you remember that movie!!? 


Than I came across this address book tucked away in the cupboard - perfect to altering!!


I covered the back and front with some textured card embossed with the Tim Holtz Embossing Folder - thank to my friend Deb.  I added some DCWV Ribbon on the spine of the book and basically followed the MMSC12 sketch as best I could (LOL)!


My card was created in a similar way, but I have used some SU Embossing Folders this time - these were part of my Hostess Dollars at my Workshop - thanks Ann!!

I have added some of the gorgeous Petaloo Flowers - there are so many to choose from!!  The tiny rose have been layered into a larger flower that has had the edges inked with Walnut Stain Distressing Ink.


 Both flowers have been painted with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl....it is not showing up so well in these photos - how typical!!

So what do you think - don't you just love these flowers, I had not idea just how many flowers Petaloo make...and then I discovered the bling - you need to check it out!!
This card is for the following challenges:
Crafty Pad - Lots of Texture
Scrappy Frog - Summer Flowers
Crazy 4 Challenges - Summer Themed
Card Makin' Mamas - Summertime

Cheerful Stamp Pad - My Favourite Background - embossing

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
House of Gilli - Lots of Sparkle
Before I go any further - I know this post is a bit longer, we have a ,lot happenign this month at Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - but don't we always!  LOL!   We are so very happy to announce today that we have two New DT members joining the Midnight Madness DT.. Please help us in welcoming.....

MMSC95 Pretty Pansies/ Baby Bunny

This weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge is my last one for a while with two cards - are you shocked!?!? LOL!   I am not still in the Design Team and Priscilla's Design Team but this Thursday I am going to be having eye surgery for Diabetic Cataracts and my recovery time is not certain - just quietly, I would love to be back here online on Friday - LOL but we both know that is not going to happen!!  LOL!

 My posts for the next two weeks will be prescheduled and will only have the basic details - but they will have a card and the sketch!! LOL  But enough about that and onto this weeks challenge!!

I have used an image from this weeks sponsor Deedees Digi's  I love pansies and thoroughly enjoyed creating with these.  I  have also used some of the gorgeous Vintage Sprays from Lindy's Stamp Gang on my doily.  This stuff is fabulous - don't let the colour in the bottle fool you - the gorgeous vintage tones in this spray were an added delight for me - especially as I love anything vintage!!  I have actually found these have a lot more shimmer than some of the other products on the market - so are well worth checking out!


My card for the "priscillastyles" Design Team is created using one of Priscilla's new images - how adorable is this little Bunny.  Although my first instinct is to create an Easter card - I quickly decided to make a card that was either for a New Baby or a one year old -  what do you think!??!


Keeping the colours soft and pastel makes it work either way!


  The Spellbinders Lacy Circles have been cut and embossed with my Grand Calibur - I love giving this thing a workout - it is so easy and gives such crisp lines!!


These cards are for the following challenges:
Aly's Snday Challenge - Anything Goes - both cards
Cheerful Stamp Pad - Spring - card 1
Creative Inspirations Paint - Animals - card 2
GingerLorft - Use Flowers - both cards
One Stitch at a Time - Glitter and Gems - card 1
Sparkles Forum - Mothers Day - card 1
2 Sisters - Projects for or About Babies - card 2
Little Claires - Flowers - both cards
Secret Crafter = Flowers for Mom - card 1
Totally Gorjuss - Pearls and Lace - card 1
Crafty Anne's - Sketch and/or Spring - card 1
The Stamp Man - Mothers Day/Floral - card 1
