This is my sketch for this weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge...it is hard to believe it is week 10 already. I have taken part in every week and have loved it. For those of you who haven't been there yet - you had better check it out: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
This gorgeous image is actually DP which was given to me by my good friend Melinda (aka Melinda80), as soon as she saw it, she knew I would love it...and she was right. Instantly I knew it would be for the MMSC. The Embossed paper is from a chocolate box, hasn't it come out great....and this qualifies it for the 2RedBananas Challenge for this week which is all about reusing and recycling: http://2redbananas.blogspot.com/
It is also for the Our Creative Corner Challenge where it is a Triple Play - I have used a button, brads and ribbon fringing: http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/
I have lightly coloured the image with chalks, just to add a hint of colour and some depth, I also wanted to tie in the fringing, which I picked up in a bargain bin at our local Craft Store, 'Scraps'n things' when I first started stamping! I used the photo corners that came in a RAK from one of my Twisted Sisters, Pat Smethers and added a specialist cameo button that was given to me, among many other goodies in a RAK from another dear friend Pam (aka pam124) Black brads finished it off nicely!!
I love the vintage/nostalgic feel to this card and those ladies are gorgeous - I am sure they are NOT off to a Stamping Up Workshop - LOL, well not one that I have been to anyway...imagine inky fingers all over those clothes!!

Ooo...look at these lovelies! I can hear their conversation. 'You know, I think if we sell enough cards, we can make it to the States to see that Buckleman and his DW, go to the dam, and maybe see what is really in that lolly jar. Maybe we can have a potluck too!' Wonderful addition to your gallery sis. You have all of those special 'Lovely Linda' touches that make your cards stand out. Great job! LYMI XXXOOO

I love your card, and you did a great job at giving it a vintage feel. The colors are perfect and vintage. I really love the cameo in the upper corner. What a perfect touch. Thank you so much for playing with the MMSC this week!

Linda, this card is so cool, so vintage and really has the feel of that time period. Great job on everything. Love that Cameo in the corner and that 'garter' at the bottom. TFS

Ohh they are so lovely! Now, I'm not quite certain that they are discussing what Pat has cojectured...... they simply look to demure for that. I suspect that they are exchanging recipes or more likely making polite small talk! Oh that Patty Cakes!! Can't she read body language! ;)Lovely ladies indeed, and love your little cameo in the corner! So sweet!
