Slip on over to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ and check out the neat sketch that Priscilla has provided for us this week!! Our monthly sponsor is Lindy's Stamp Gang http://www.lindystampgang.com/. These products are just so much fun to play with!! I love all the iridescence!! Shimmer and shine are right up my alley!! I didn't use any stamps on the outside of this card, just die cuts, punches and Cuttlebug embossing folders! I colored some paper with the Lindy's Starburst Stain in an a color called "Sweet Violet Purple Teal" The title says it all!! That is how it looks and does it ever shimmer and shine!! I cut some flowers out this colored paper with my Cuttlebug die and also a Martha Stewart punch and assembled them and put a dot of silver stickles in the center. I punched my tag out of the colored paper as well and then applied silver stickles on the side design and around the edge. I cut two other shapes out with my Cuttlebug one in silver and one in the painted paper! Added a strip of ribbon with a MS border punch and then colored it with the Sweet Violet Purple Teal Stain! Voila!!

I had to come back for yet another look at your gorgeous card, penny anne! Wow, you sure know how to make cards. Remember, you told me "I'll be back when I learn how to make cards". Well, I guess you're back. Thanks for your call.
