It is Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge Time: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
and I have done something so completely different for me, using a Kaiser Set..I have coloured the image with SU Chalks (my favourite technique) and cut it out with an Oval Nestibilitie, also cutting a Large Scalloped Nestie from a paint chip (I love these!)
I was inspired by the fabulous DCWV 'The Endless Summer' Stack of Papers - which is bold and bright, normally I steer away from these BUT in this case I could not resist. The DP I chose for my card is shimmery and embossed - irresistible, it went perfectly with this tropical image. I cut the palm trees out and layered them onto the side of the oval on dimensionals. I then added a strip of lace trim, having inked it with distressing inks and then added the pink nail bling along it - this added so much to the card - another one of those small touches that just brings it alive!
A layered flower was then added on top of a Nestibilitie from 'Doodle Parts' and a pearl brad attached to the centre.....finishing off with Nail Bling on some of the corners!

This really is lovely. That image is gorgeous and the colouring is superb. Stacks of summer paper sound like a good thing to go through to me - especially on a grisly Canberra day in this seemingly endless winter.

This is such a beauty! I love birds and these are gorgeous with the beautiful coloring with the chalks and glitter. Also, that is some very pretty inked lace with the added bling. Lots of wonderful details and an awesome job, Linda.
