I was finally able to get to the Midnight Madness challenge this week. I decided to use a really cute House Mouse image I received from coffeestamper~thanks Sue~. You can see the sketch challenge by looking here:
Come join the challenge and check out the design team cards as they are awesome. There are also great prizes.
I used My Mind's Eye dsp, called Bloom & Grow and paired it with taken with teal, old olive and very vanilla card stock.
I stamped the HM image on vanilla card stock twice, then cut one out and placed it above the first image on dimensionals. I added dazzling diamonds around the edges of the balloons and the HM ears and nose. I colored the balloons and HM with markers.
Added some flowers, brad ~received in a RAK from Stamp Muse - Thanks M~, pearls, bling, border punch, corner piece and paper piercing. The scallop and rectangle nesties are popped up on dimensionals as well as the image. I sponged old olive on the image mat.
I think that about wraps it up. It took me awhile to get into this card; but, once I got going, it was lots of fun. Thanks Priscilla for another awesome sketch challenge.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to look and have a great weekend!!
