Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge

WOW... can you believe it's time once again for another Midnight Madness Challenge!?!?!   Today I kind of "combined" the two sketch options ... my creation ALMOST fits the "fancy" sketch but certainly qualifies for the "cas" version! 
My image came from an online site called "Magic Moonlight" ... I just love these vintage images and they always seem to be perfect for my MMSC creations!  I've been working so much lately with various digi images, it's nice to jump back into these vintage photos now & then.

I also made my vellum flowers using the technique I learned from my new friend Selma Stevenson when I was at the workshop at Joan's Gardens in the spring.  Here is a link to the tutorial if you'd like to try it yourself!  My flowers are actually a lighter shade of apricot vellum ... although they look pretty "orange" in the photo.  I should have taken a "side shot" to show you the dimension of the photo & the sentiment circle ... looks really nice IRL!!

Thanks for stopping by!!  I'd better get busy around the house!  I have a peck of sweet banana peppers waiting for me to get them cut & in the brine for canning!  It's THAT time of the year and even though it is work ... it is such rewarding work come winter time!!
