OMG, I was going to do something different than a Valentine card for the Midnight Madness sketch this week, but then saw the sketch included a heart, so here I go again . . .
I just LOVE this Midnight Madness sketches as I've said before and this one is no exception. If you'd like to join in the challenge, here's the link:
I've had these doily hearts in my stash and haven't found a use for them yet and, surprisingly, they seemed perfect for this challenge. I had a larger white doily heart that I topped with a smaller red one.
I used the SU Sending Love DSP and the rest were ribbons, flowers and embellies I had in my stash. I finally found a place to put these gorgeous multi-pearls and metal red flowers that I picked up some time ago. And, the red metal flowers just seemed to fit perfectly into the sparkly white flowers adorning the side of the heart.
I popped up the first layer, second layer and heart on dimensionals. I used the SU pinking hearts border punch for the bottom of the dsp and I paper pierced around the white mat. This is a 5.25x5.25 card. The flowers I used as the corner pieces were given to me in a RAK from twinshappy - Thanks Stacy - They keep coming in real handy.
I always go a little overboard on these MM sketches because they just bring out that side of me - Lavish and Fancy!!!
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to look and have a great week!
