Hallo to everyone in the Wonderful World of Cards...here we are again with another Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
with so many beautiful designs and ideas....so lovely to look at.
This card is a combination of a RAK my daughter, Lovely Linda received from her friend Maxine (aka Kiwime) while Linda was visiting with me a few weeks ago. It is combined with a recycled embroidery image on Blue CS. Chalks, Watercolours and Glitz have been used, and then popped on Yellow DP with EF flowers that have been also been coloured, and torn round the edges. Under this is Blue spot DP, with ribbons, and Copper pearls added, along with Die cut flower and ribbon bow and pearl. Black shading has also been used on edges.
This card started off as something else, and then just evolved almost by itself...I don't know how that happens, do you find that also?
Thanks for your great comments, so encouraging to me down here in NZ, and I love to see who has been to visit.

Lesley, I know exactly how you feel. There are so many times I have this image in my mind and it goes somewhere else. Or, I get scared 1/2 way through of how I'm going to pull this all together and somehow, magically, it just starts to happen. I find that the most with the MM sketches! You did an INCREDIBLE job and I was thinking there was some embroidery going on there. This is BEAUTIFUL and you always do fantastic work! Hugs - pam MMSC-GD
