MMSC58 Melting Moment

What a week it has been - while most of you are enjoying the warmer weather, we have been having temperature that are REVOLTING AT Night - around the minus 4-5 degrees Celsius - brrrrrr!!  Great weather for staying home and.....yes...you guessed it...creating!!!  Perfect opportunity to create my Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge card for this week!

I have used an adorable Gurlee Girl image - how adorable are they,  Gurlee Girls was the first one of our sponsors that I used an image from when I first started at MMSC - I have been looking forward to using another one - this Gurlee Girl is perfect with her hot Cocoa!

I coloured her with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen, then cut her out and popped her up with foam dots into some card stock embossed with the Divine Swirls embossing folder - it made me think of swirls of steam from the hot Cocoa!

I enjoyed this sketch but had to do some thinking about the panel at the top - I decided on this white lace and threaded a thing strip of one of the DP's through it, so the colours matched exact, then a small black brad was added in the centre of each lacy flower.

So what do you think of it - I love the colours and the warm feel - it is your turn to show us your stuff' with this weeks sketch - here it is - get creating and I will be there to see your card!

Once again, it's "YOUR PICK" Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between. Its as easy as 1-2-3 click here to see both sketches

This week is my first week using the gorgeous Gurlee Girl Stamps by Chelsea - how cute are they, it just makes me want to SQUEEZE these girls, they remind me so much of my girls when they were little!!  I chose 'Lexi' and coloured her with chalks, cutting her out and popping her up on 3D foam dots onto an embossed panel, which has been sponged with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink.

My second layer is a paint chip from the local hardware - don't you just love recycling!!  I have distressed the edges of this.  My DP is from a fabulous DCWV Pad....all fun, funky and bright!!  It actually has heaps of shimmer but this is always lost when photographed!  The angled photo shows it a bit better!

I thought you might like to see all of the dimension going on here - hence the close up!  I have sponged around the DP and adhered it to white CS, which in turn has been layered onto pink CS!  I have used sponged embossed photo corners as embellishments and added nail bling to them.

 Butterflies have been sponged and added, again Nail Bling is used.  The larger butterfly has some gold chalked onto it for some variation in colour - my DH suggested it and I nearly reeled in horror, but he has a great eye for colours so I tried it - and it looks great - adds so much warmth!!  Amazing what such a little touch can add!

Flowers have been sponged and layered, with a silver centre added, finishing off the card nicely!!  So what do you think - aren't these Gurlee Girls gorgeous - I can't wait to get another one done!!
