Raise The Bar Challenge creation!
I finally got around to creating a card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I have never missed one of their challenges from the very first and shoulder pain or not ... I wasn't about to miss this week.
Here were our choice of sketches to follow. This week, I chose the more elaborate sketch. My friend Dawn Burnworth (My Stamping Thyme) from Mooreshead, N.C. (who was just added to the "Dirty Dozen" over on SCS by the way) surprised me with an RAK filled with amazing vintage "stuff"! Since this challenge usually allows me to spread my "vintage wings", I couldn't wait to use one of the awesome postcard images Dawn sent me from Scenes from The Past. Aren't these ladies adorable!!!

Here is the recipe for this creation:
Stamps/Ink - NONE
Papers: Whisper White, Basic Black, Orchid Opulence, Recollections designer paper
Accessories: Sizzix Corner Design die, Fiskars Apron Lace border punch, Kaiser half pearls, Prima flowers, Making Memories brad, purple Stickles
If you enjoy sketch fun ... be sure to check out this challenge!! They even give you a SNEAK PEEK every Friday for the Tuesday challenge! Oh that reminds me, I'd better jump over and check out next week's sketch ... MAYBE I'll bet a jump start on next week's creation! (yeah, right!!! LOL)
Gorgeous job! What a fun vintage image this is. Love it! hugs, Angela

Darlene -- such a great take on this sketch; these gals look like they knew how to have fun! Beautiful accents with the lavender flourishes and gems to add a touch of sparkle to these bathing beauties. Thanks for participating in this week's Midnight Madness Sketch challenge and hope to see you again next week!

What a great vintage card! I love that there is no stamping involved! Love the colors, the swirls, the brads, and the flower.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment you left on my blog. You asked when I had time...I don't. I only make 2 cards/projects a week: one for Wink Wink Ink and one for the Digital Tuesday Challenge. I wish I had time to do more...I'm so behind on my Xmas Cards and my son's scrapbook. It will never be finished by his high school graduation. You on the other hand, seem to make several cards a day! I don't know how you do it!
Darlene this is just so fun and absolutely fabulous. I love this picture of these girls. They look like they are having fun. Your details and colors are fabulous. Thank your for playing along with us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Hope to see you next week when we begin our Anniversary celebration. Good luck on the prize drawing.
