Made this card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ This is a fun, fun place and they have some wonderful prizes. Also, I found this challenge to fit my creation: http://dareu2digistamp.blogspot.com/ This is a challenge to distress. I did tearing and sanding on my strip behind the image. Doesn't show really well because it is so dark.
I used a digi image from Sue McMahon's online store: http://www.mcmahonfivedesign.com/ She has some wonderful images and some freebies, along with some great wood paper and other items.
You should pay her a visit.

What a beauty this is, Brenda!! You can only submit one card per sketch?? Oh, that is too bad, cause this is great!! I just love the frame and how it peaks up over the top of your card. What a great vintage feel too. Lovely card!!

OMG Brenda, this is outstanding!!! I've been really ill the past 3 days with severe strep and sinus infection, so I'm behind in galleries. You're just lucky you're in my Top 5 as that's all I'm going to be able to comment on tonight I think. I just love what you did with your card here and that frame is awesome. I love the b/g paper, the slider/ribbon, the image and the distressing. You really outdid yourself on this one my friend!! TFS!!

Brenda! I absolutely LOVE what you did with this digi! Your card is beautiful!!! You know I'm adding this to my website gallery!!! Thank you for using my image! I'm so honored!
I believe you can submit more than one card for the challenge, but maybe only one is eligible for the prizes. I'll have Priscilla clarify this for you!
Thank you for playing with us again and again! We love your support, Brenda!
