Oooh, I love getting the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge sneak peek because it gives me more time to let it soak in. In fact, I had this done a couple days ago and it's just now time to finally link it to the site.
Priscilla comes up with awesome sketches and the designer cards are beyond beautiful. They also have weekly picks and prizes.
I chose to do another Valentine card as I LOVE how the MM sketches take me to the "fancier" side of cardmaking which I thought is great for Valentine's Day cards.
I used SU Sending Love DSP for all my patterned paper. I used the SU heart embosslit for the center image and blinged it up with crystal rhinestone hearts and some brown hearts I had on hand. Adorned my circular image panels with bling, flowers, hearts and brads. I added 2 corner pieces from a die cut and placed 2 corduroy SU brads on each corner piece. There is already some "sparkle" on the center patterned paper piece, so I didn't feel the need to add any glitter.
I used the SU pinking hearts border punch for the bottom and used dimensionals on the first layer, the rectangular layer, the circular layer and the embosslit heart.
This was so much fun to make and if I went a little overboard with the blings and heart brads, it's only because these sketches get me on "fire" and I can't stop myself.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to look and have a great week!

Hmmm, pinks and browns....one of my fav color combos. I see now that Helen is trying to get this one. Heather, the last one, what am I to do? This is a truly outstanding Valentine for SOMEONE. Oh, I love those pink corduroy buttons..another thing I am sorry I didn't purchase. Your punched border is soooo sweet as are your corner die cuts. Over the top spectacular!!!!! Anne is going to have her latest model detector scanning equipment on this one for sure. Can't wait to hear what she finds out....who really made this beauty?

Guess I can't ask if this is for me since Benzi and Helen have already beat me to the 'punch' on that... Love it. All of it. In all of its blinged-up, punched-up, buttoned-down, flowery glory. Not one, but TWO corduroy buttons. This one is for someone special. Lovin' your Valentine parade Fruitflake. Looks like you got your ruler out and measured your sweet little flower brads for your photo shoot... Lookin' good...
