It is time for this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
The image I have used is from D'Amour Allure. I love this gorgeous stamp - it is a pleasure to work with!
I embossed the image with black embossing powder and coloured her with my 'trusty' chalks and blender pen. After cutting her out I popped her up on foam dots and attached her to the distressed and sponged DP, which is backed with white CS. The background panels are all distressed and sponged to add to the vintage feel of the card. Black brads and the layered sponged flowers are added and the finishing touches are the gorgeous vintage corners which are part of a RAK sent to me by my Mum - Lesley (aka SuperNan) They were just the right colour - so thanks Mum

The Queen of VINTAGE!!! Gawgus! So sorry to not leave many comments lately. I was having trouble sleeping and thought this would be a good time to browse the Sistahs galleries. Glad I did as you are awesome with these chalks. I need to work on this technique. It has been so long since I've been in the studio but hopefully it won't be too much longer before I can get back in there. All depends on Mom's recovery. Beautiful card Linda.

Beautifully done Linda. I love how you tucked the flower behind the image. Your image is gorgeous and beautifully colored. Love your die cut corners and metal dots too. This is truly fabulous. I still need to get to mine and Priscilla even uploaded the sketch early "just for me" - NOT!! LOL!! Can't wait to do mine. It's going to be hard to surpass this beauty!! TFS!
