I loved this weeks sketch from Priscilla for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ I selected papers and arrange them according to the sketch. Then I stamped some flowers and leaves and colored them with Prisma pencils and baby oil then applied some stickles. The flowers are a double layer. I cut them out and mounted them on one cream oval and two scalloped ovals by Nestibilities. I used a Cuttlebug die cut for the side element that I decorated with pearls. I cut two strips of Martha Stewart border punches and mounted them on the side of one of the background papers. I applied ribbon to the side of the ovals and across the bottom. Pearls were added here and there!! The envelope was decorated to match the card and VOILA!

Whoo hoo Phyllis, look at those gorgeously bright and cheery colors. Pretty flowers, layering and that lattice work along the side is stunning with the pearls and the border punch adds a touch of delicacy to your card. GORGOUS!

Wow Phyllis, this is spectacular. I just love how you do flowers!!! There is none better than you. I am always in awe of how they sparkle and shine and have such depth to the colors. I see a MS punch here that I don't have and am having "punch envy"...lol!!!!! The pearls are the perfect touch to this marvelous creation.

You're a better person than I am, Phyllis, because when I saw the zig zag on the side, I was done. I was outta the game before it even started. Your card, on the other hand, is so mar-va-less, dahling. I love all the ribbon, pearls and punches. Your floral images are a great match for your lovely card.
