What a cool sketch we have at Midnight Madness this week. I used the Doris Mae image from Jeni of D'Amour Allure. I took the sketch to another level and did a "Quasi" Gate Fold type of card. You cannot see all the intricate detail of the inside of this card. I was influenced by a huge project I am working on by doing so much detail on the inside. If you care to see the inside, please visit my blog. I have a video describing the details as well. This is my supply list:
Paper- K & Company
Martha Stewart Punches: Corner Daisy, Border Daisy, Deep Edger Flower Bed
Cuttlebug: Embossing and Die Combo-ornamental iron, 2 x 2 Vintage die
From Micheal's - Rhinestones, pearls, roses, white flowers, heart charm
Rangers Tea Dye Ink, Diamond Stickles
Thank you so much for stopping by and viewing my vintage looking card. I hope you gained some inspiration and come and join us at Midnight Madness. Thank you so much for you comments. I look forward to hearing what you think!

This is incredibly fabulous, Carol! Oh how that's way too much work for me, but I sure do appreciate seeing your's in the gallery. That's really a wonderful image you've used and as usual, you've managed to bring along some wonderful papers that only adds to the vintage flair. Spectacular card, Carol. Keep 'em coming, girl.

This is so rich looking - all the scrumptious dp, ribbon, flowers, gold, etc. WOW - I always feel like my MMSCS cards are so plain - especially when I see yours. I have got to add some more layers or something!!!!!

Gorgeous and the first thing I noticed was the ribbon. Lucky you...I read on your blog about it. The color is scrumptious. The punches and die cuts are used perfectly. Doris Mae makes a beautiful card with you doing the creating, Carol.

Carol, I'm going to ask again as I did on your blog - HOW MUCH TIME DID IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS EXTRAORDINARY CREATION????? It just doesn't get any better. You details are just out of this world. No one does them better. You used this fabulous image perfectly and I love the outside, inside and matching envie. Whew, you didn't warn me to take my heart meds and put on my sunglasses b/f I looked at this one. And, there's still another one coming that's more than this???? Can't be!! LOL!!
Hugs

Carol / Bearzi, wow! Really vintage, really cool. I like the colors you've picked to use with this lady image. Makes me feel like I'm in the movie Moulin Rouge!
