MMSC103 A Touch of Renassiance

I am late!  I am late - for a very important date - and it is not to the Mad Hatters Tea Party - close to it though (LOL)  It is this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. 

 Blogger has been offline to me since an update over 24 hours ago and it is finally sorted out - so here I am with my card for this weeks challenge! I am always waiting for the next sketch - they are so inspiring aren't they - I think I have forgotten how to create without one!!

I have used this divine image from McMahon Five Designs - I have coloured it with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol, cutting the image out with the Spellbinders Grand Calibur using Spellbinders Labels 18 Nestibilitie and popping it onto the Fleur De Lis Rectangles Nestibilitie (thanks Jayne for the loan of it!!)  The background Nesties are from the Floral Doily Accents

The corners have been embellished with mulberry roses and punched branches

and beautiful pearls - the large heart pearl is from my dear friend and Design Team Sistah Gunn (loving it Gunn!)

You can see some of the dimension in this photo - hopefully!  LOL!

This card is for the following challenges:

Challenge Crazy - Anything Goes

DDH Challenges - Bling

MMSC57 The Plans

I just love Tuesdays - it is Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge time - who can resist, I love these challenges and am always inspired by Priscilla's amazing sketches and everyone playing along makes it so much fun too!!  This weeks sketch is no exception, but first my card!

I have used the scripture from our Weekly Bonus Sponsor, McMahon Five Designs - this verse has always been a favourite with me.  I printed 2 copies and  cut out some of the more significant words on the top layer, inked around them and adhered them with foam tape.

The DP has been embossed with the Textiles Embossing Folder, I then added a strip of gold mesh ribbon down through the centre - it does not show up well in the photos - how typical is that!  You can see it more clearly in the photo below!!

The flourishes are Tim Holtz Grungeboard and have been sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Olive - bet you wouldn't have picked the colour, it is showing up as dark brown - so just picture Olive okay!!  I added some gorgeous crochet lace under the gold netted ribbon too - oops nearly forgot to mention that!!  The gold pearls from my friend and one of our MMSC GDT's pam (aka pam124) THANKS PAM - they are perfect - I am loving them!!

Now - here is what you are waiting for - this weeks sketch

You have the choice of this sketch or the CAS one, you can find it here.  It is as 'easy as 1-2-3'!

Congratulations to the MMSC56 Gold Star
