This card is for this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
I was absolutley amazed to be awarded one of their Remarkables Award for my first card! Thank you to the Design Team, it is so encouraging and I am still recovering from the shock!!
I have used varied blue coloured card stock layers, with embossed Vellum centre as the background. The Bronze centrepiece with die cut flower shape, and layered flowers on top with a pearl centre. Smaller trim is diecut shaded shape, with bronze filligree, with turquoise stone in the centre. Diecut tear drops in corners with shaded scrolls trimmed with pearls. Scalloped border and ribbon trim complete this card. All shading is done with Pinecone ink.
Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments, I have been overwhelmed by you all!

Hello Leslie, Linda's Mum! Welcome back! I love all the elements of your card this week too. I'm just as curious about the corner embellishment too... Is it a pull tab from a soda pop? Very ingenious!

Two months...only two months! My goodness. This is natural talent (and I still say Linda got her giftedness from her Mum!) lol. Shhh...don't tell!
Wonderfully warm colours and beautiful in design. I love the sponging and swirly cb cutouts n the corners. Great job Lesley! Hugs...
