Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #52

It's time for another MIDNIGHT MADNESS SKETCH CHALLENGE and today's I'm going for the "fancy sketch".  If you prefer the CAS sketch option, be sure to pop on over to their blog and check it out!  Their sketches are always so much fun and SO UNIQUE!! 




It took me a bit of time to figure out the image I wanted to use but once that was decided it was fun to put the other pieces all together.  I decided on this image from Shabby Chic Papirskatter and since it says "Mode de Paris" ... I thought maybe this beautiful lady would have been seen on one of those FANCY  CRUISE SHIPS where only the "elite" could afford to cruise.  Don't you just LOVE her hat with all the feathers!! 

Here's the list of items used:

Image from Shabby chic papirskatter
Papers:  Basic Grey Two Scoops, Very Vanilla, Glorious Green
Inks:  Ranger Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories:  Distresser, Creative Memories fine tip black marker, K&Co gem & vintage button brad, Fiskars Apron Lace border punch, Crafty Secrets Adventures-Travel Tag, Feathers

OH DID YOU SEE???   I have enjoyed this challenge from Day 1 and they are celebrating their 1st Blogaversary (check out the goodies they are giving away HERE) and have honored those of us who "haven't missed a sketch challenge" with this cool  "Princess" badge and are sending "goodies" ... I am so honored!  


So with this challenge, Year 2 is off to a fun start!  I hope I can continue to play each week for the NEXT year ... wouldn't that be cool!!   It's kind of like "going all through the school year without missing a day" ... that was always a HUGE accomplishment for me!!  (Don't think I ever made it though ... that darn flu always got me over the winter!)



Thanks for stopping by today!  My shoulders are feeling pretty good today so I'm PLAYING THE CHALLENGES!!  Sorry about multiple postings but I'm sure you understand!!  HUGS to you all!  Happy Day!

  8. Hello Royal Princess Darlene ;) I am happy to be visiting your castle today. I love your royal rose garden wallpaper. Now to this fabulous post and amazing card. What an interesting color combo for this vintage image..I can see that it has some tinting on the image which I am sure makes it pop even more IRL. But once again a fab job and shabby chic socialite image. Ok, here is a heads up and a personal invitation to a PARTY:)
    Where: MMSC53 Post
    When: Next Tuesday May 11th
    Theme: Dance Party
    We are celebrating next week with a Dance Party? Do you have the moves? Better get that Party dress out of the drycleaners and dust off those dancing shoes.
    Party will last all week and we will have a Dance contest, door prizes, best dress etc. Don’t miss out on all the fun and be sure to loosen up those hips. Oh and it’s BYOB (Bring your own bootie) lol Shake (_|_)(_\_)(_|_)shake (_/_)(_|_)(_\_)(_|_)(_/_)skake your bootie.
