I have made two cards for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week - this is the first one using an adorable image from Create and Stamp. Isn't this little girl adorable!! I stamped her twice and coloured her with chalks, cut her our, popping her up on foam dots, I also popped up the bow on the letterbox. You know, I am a 'vintage' type girl #that is nothing to do with my age!! LOL# but I am discovering a love for whimsical......and I have to say with images like this Lacey makes it ever easier to 'go there!'
The background DP has been embossed with the Stylised Flowers embossing folder and the edges sponged with distressing ink. This adorable little face reminds me of my daughters when they were little, what a gift to be able to capture that innocence with this images.
I handcut the scallops for the border and inked it, adding two layers of ribbon and used my Bow Easy with the Martha Stewart ribbon, finishing it off with a gorgeous pearl brad that is encased in silver - The vintage corners are part of a RAK from my MUM, Lesley aka SuperNan...I love these corners and definitely have to get this DieCut, they finish a card so beautifully. Pearls have been added!

Linda, this is so perfectly done. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your coloring girl. I can't tell you how much. I just look and marvel at it. One day, one day I hope to be half as good as you at coloring. All your details are so perfectly put together to give the vintage feel and I LOVE your ribbon, flowers, pearls and, of course, your corner die cut!! Way to go Linda!! Don't tell Priscilla, but I'm going to cheat and do the easier one this week I think. That 1st one with the curves threw me for a loop!! You did wonderful with it!! TFS!

Linda, when I say 'precious' it seem so inadequate! I love this card and the sweetness that oozes form it! You rock, you know that, right? Love you!
