This card is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
This week has flown by so fast and Christmas is nearly here!! I am as ready as I am ever going to be - how about you!?!? Those that are organised among us are already planning for New Year....parties galore!! Well, okay not in our house - we normally settle in and watch the fireworks in Sydney on TV - they are spectacular on the Sydney Harbour Bridge....we went in one year prior to having our children and that was sensational but once was enough for me! LOL!
I am using this image that was generously sent to me in a RAK from Jakester after I commented on one of her cards , Terese generously sent me some of these images...thank you Terese, I love it!! What girl wouldn't love a dress like that (personally I'd like the body to wear a dress like that! LOL!)
I highlighted the image with chalks and used green Distressed Stickles on the black areas but it does not show up at all in the photos. The edges of each layer have been sponged with distressing ink and layered onto black CS. The layer with the image on has been 'popped' up on dimensionals. Small pink pearls have been added to each side of the image.
The DP has been embossed with the Victoria Embossing Folder and sponged. The ribbon is from a Blog Candy I won from Abby. I have added pink fibre thread along the middle of each piece of ribbon - now that was a lot fiddlier than I bargained on, but worth it in the end!! For the final touch I added a piece of sheer ribbon which has been treaded through a pearl buckle.slider.
Thank you for looking and for the encouraging comments you leave me here and on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/
You bless me - Have a Happy CHRISTmas with your friends and family!! God bless you!

My goodness Linda, this is totally FABULOUS!! What is there not to like here. The dress is gorgeous, sponging, panels, embossing, pearls, layout, fiber ribbon and, of course, those pearl sliders I love so much!! Amazingly BEAUTIFUL Linda!! I'm trying so hard to play catch up after the holidays - I'm just trying to take it one thing at a time, but you know I wouldn't go 4-ever without visiting your awesome gallery Linda!! TFS!!
