Hi to you all in the card world, and I'm sure you're all very busy. This card for this weeks MidNight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
was a challenge for me to do something different, so decided to do the "negative cutouts" that I like to work with. The centre is a popped up flower Diecut negative shape on DP, with red and black CS borders, and Diamante centres. The grey and white DP has been embossed with a centre black and white strip. Black and white ribbon with silver border strip is on the side.
The DP has been cut out to allow the black filligree "lacing" inserts, and a filligree corner added with red pearls. Glitz, red pearls, diamantes, and silver borders are the embellishments on this card. Incidently the centre DP is a skirt from a dress catalogue, that has been put on card and then through the Cuttlebug with the diecut. You never know what you can use with a bit of thought.
Thanks for the support with my Gallery, and your great comments. Always appreciated.
I was thrilled to find out I am a Nominee for the Priscilla Award - what an honour - I am thoroughly enjoying the MADNESS!! LOL!

Hi Leslie:
I am a little late with comment as I have been away for the week. Just got back and trying to catch up on commenting in-between the loads of laundry and ironing!!! Your card is fabulous and I am so in awe of how you did the negative portion of the sketch. That looks amazing. Your embossing and images match it perfectly. What an inspiration!!! Thanks for playing along with us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.
Bear Hugs,
