Anyways, now that shocking fact is behind me ... LOL ... I would love to share with you, today's creation for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. ANOTHER awesome sketch for this week and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it (that doesn't happen often, LOL).
Have you taken the time to check out the new digis Priscilla has available in her store?? Well let me tell you, they are as unique as her challenges and equally amazing!! Today I decided to use her "flying birds" set for my creation.
(click on image to enlarge)
So here is my interpretation of today's FANCY sketch (remember there is also a CAS sketch available for you too!) I am so happy with the outcome of this card ... I love when the thought in my head actually comes together on paper! Items used on this creation are as follows:
Images - Flying Bird from "priscillastyles" Store, SU sentiment
Paper - GCD STudios from Hobby Lobby
Ink - Versafine Sepia
Other - Zvacreative.com gems (purchased at Joan's Gardens), Kaiser pearls (also Joan's Gardens), SU Crystal Effects. Prismacolor markers
Here are the other challenges this creation qualifies for:
Crafty Calendar Challenge - Blue and optional Flowers
Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - "What 'eva"
Fresh Brewed - Brown
Pocket Full of Posies - Floral Fantasy
Kaboodle Doodles Challenge - Get Inspired
Crafts and Me - Gems and Sparkle
