My card is for the MMSC #38. http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/...llenge-38.html . I am using a digital image from Creations by Penny. I printed twice and paper pieced the red heart section. Added my ribbon for corners, my gemstones for the side pieces, and some glossy accents to the heart.
It is a little bit not me but I like it just the same.
You should check out the MMSC for some great sketches each week. They are always fun and have some wonderful tutorials, as well as some wonderful prizes.

Look at all those gems and sparkles, Benzi! Smokin' black and red hot sparkles.. It's just so pretty! I'm so glad you are trying something that's not the usual you, because that's how you expand your style. You're good at that Thanks so much for showing love for the MMSC and playing with us this week, xox ~Jeni & MMSC DT

Okay, Benz, there I was feeling sorry for you because you were in a funk you said, and then I find THIS AMAZING card!! If this is in a funk, then maybe you should stay there. This is very captivating and I LOVE that the MM sketches make you go outside of your "usual" and a little more "daring" as they do that to me too!! I'm still trying to figure out those gorgeous corner pieces!! Looks like you're saying that is a ribbon. Wow, most gorgeous ribbon I've ever seen and I LOVE your red bling and sequins surrounding your image. LOVE that b/g paper the pop of red for the heart!! You went all out and it shows Benz. I think you did a Super Dee Dooper JOB!!! TFS!!!

Ooh-la-la!! This is so fancy! Great use of the sequins from the ribbon--that really adds a lot of punch!! And that background paper is fab. Everything works so well together and there's so much contrast. Nicely done!
