Thank you everyone for the comments on my Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
Remarkables Award last week. I've only just found out, so forgive me for being a bit slow to acknowledge it. It's always a pleasant surprise when I get an award for my work.
This Challenge just sort of fell into place quite quickly for me, which is unusual as I can agonise for days over colour choices, papers, trims etc. The letters are part of an embroidery alphabet that have been coloured with chalks, watercolour pens with Glitz highlights and mounted on black CS. This has been placed on Pink DP with a strip of Black paper lace, then a border of embroidery trim which has had the centers coloured with the watercolour Cerise pen (I use my watercolours for so many things, and would be lost without them). This unit has then been placed on Black and White DP edged in Cerise CS and put on Black CS. A Cerise Vintage Corner has been added to balance the layered flowers with Diamante centres, on the opposite corner. Some extra Glitz has been added on the Black and White DP, but does not show in photo.
I am pleased with this card, which I think is pretty, and has a touch of drama about it. I hope you like it too. Thanks for sharing your comments on my cards, and looking at my Gallery. Lovely Linda will soon be coming to you from my house in NZ.....goodness knows what we may get up to then...Watch this space!!!
