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

MMSC77 Snow Day/Snow Angel

For this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge I think I have followed a theme - funny really as we are going from winter to summer so we are leaving this weather behind us, but how would I resist this adorable image from I Did It Creations - I don't know what draws you to an image but these whimsical images just call my name - I think it is to do with the shape and of course the colouring potential!

I coloured her with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen - no surprises there are there!  LOL! The card stock layers have been embossed with the Snowflake folder and I have inked it before embossing to get this effect - I love the way it looks and have decided the love the lighter colours using this technique, it gives a more of a washed technique.

I have used Tim Holtz Distressing Inks and decided to use brown as well, Walnut Stain I think.  The fibre added a great touch but was a tricky little thing to get to stick - several layers of skin later, I am happy with the result,  Snowflakes and gems are the finishing touches to this wintry wonderland.

Below I am using one of Priscilla's newest images - her Angel - my photos just do not so this card any justice, it is full or sparkle and bling and takes this angel to another dimension!

Hopefully you can see some of the bling and shimmer here - well, juts s hint of it anyway!

These are for the following challenges:

Craft Your Passion - Add Glitter and Sparkle - both cards

Gingerloft - Winter - both cards

I Did It Creations - Anything Goes - both cards

Aly's Sunday Sketch - Distressed - both cards

2 Sisters Challenge Blog - Anything Goes - both cards

MMSC76 Purr-fect/Party Animal

Hello everyone - how has your week been - can you believe it is time for another Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - they come around so fast don't they - I know you LOVE them as much as I do!!

I have gone a little crazy this week and have not one but - three cards for you!  The first one being this divine image from our weekly Sponsor DRS Designs - check out the attitude on 'Miss Thang' here!  LOL!  How can you not LOVE her!?

I coloured her with Prismacolor Pencils and used Flowersoft for the very first time - using it on the tail and a little bit added to the chest - I do love the texture it adds - fun!

I found this cute little chain of flowers that I forgot I had  and it was perfect for the sketch!

  The DP is Basic Grey and the embossing has been done with the D'vine Swirls Embossing Folder.

My next card is made using the "priscillastyles" image - as you may know Priscilla used a photo of one of our digs Charlie for this image - he is perfect for my Christmas cards this year - although IRL he would be horrified to be dressed like this!  LOL!

I coloured him with Prismacolor Pencils.  I added some chunky gold braid to the side panel, this was part of a bag of lace given to me by my friend Ann and the gorgeous DP is from  my DT Sistah Gunn - it is divine - I love all of the texture and bling - where would I be without my friends - thanks Girls!!

My final card is for the 'priscillastyles' Design Team, using Priscilla's gorgeous butterflies - it is the first time I have used this particular one - and thought I would make it look like a film strip,  The chiffon ribbon has been threaded through a pearl buckle/slider and had some bling added to it.

I have printed an extra set of the butterflies and cut out the wings on one, popping it up on foam tape - I love the dimension it gives with the butterflies.  Kindy Glitz has been added to give that extra shimmer!

These cards are for the following challenges:

The Sisterhood of Crafter's - All Things known as Bling

Paper Cutz #63 - Anything Goes

Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog  - Digi and Favourite Coloring Technique (cards 2 and 3)

Inky Impressions - Anything Goes

Oh La La Creations - Nothing Floral (card 3)

That is enough from me - Please help me welcome our newestGuest Diva....

MMSC73 New Adventure and Winging It

Wahoo - it is  Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge time and we all love that what fabulous cards you have shared with us this week - I love seeing that you have done, you inspire me with each card I look at!

I have used this image from our weekly sponsor PaperWorks.Co.  How cute is this - I had a lot of fun with her, stamping the image twice and colouring them with SU Chalks, cutting around the girl on the bike and popping her up on foam tape.

This next card is made using Priscilla's fabulous Dragonfly, you can see it here - I love colouring this image - over here, dragonflies are very 'in' at the moment!  I have printed two copies of the image and coloured with SU Chalks, cutting out the wings from one image and popping them up on foam tape to add dimension. 

These are cut out onto a Labels 4 Nestibilities and layered onto some embossed CS, using the D'vine Swirls embossing folder.

You can see the dimension in this photo, I have added pearls to the Nestibilitie and bling to the centre of the Dragonfly.  The DP has been embossed using Stylised Flowers and Vintage Corners have been added to four corners.  Two of the corners have had dragonfly brads added as a finishing touch.

and finally - this weeks sketch...it's "YOUR PICK" Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between.
