Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #99 and a Crafty Secrets Challenge Creation

WOW can you believe Midnight Madness is on Sketch Challenge #99 ... how awesome is that!  Next week will certainly be a milestone at 100!  Congratulations to Priscilla and her team!!

I didn't truly follow the fancy sketch but I came close.  I just love making these flowers and thought they'd fit up nicely with this vintage image from Nicecrane Designs.  This is one of the eight images available on the Women's Painting Digital Collage Sheet.  

If you've never played along in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge or seen Ignacio's digital images over at Nicecrane Design ... I urge you to click on the links provided within their name titles and check them out!!

Other challenges this card qualifies for:

Crafty Calendar Challenge - April Showers Bring Forth May Flowers
Make It Monday - Anything Goes
My Partner in Crafting Crime - Layer It Up
Woodware - Anything Goes
Fashionista Friday - Spring is in the Air

I'd also like to share with you the card created for this week's Crafty Secrets Challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers.  I am the hostess this week and I've ask everyone to use the color YELLOW along with their Crafty Secrets products.  Here's what I came up with using an image from the Crafty Secrets Birds & Botanicals Booklet.

(click on image to enlarge)

The designer paper used on this creation is from the Basic Grey 'Origins' paper pack.  Using the same dp, I've added corner panels which were matted in SU garden green and a center panel with designing running the opposite direction, matted in garden green with a yellow satin ribbon through the middle.   I've also used Stickles to add some sparkle.

Other challenges this card qualifies for:

The Crafty Pad - Spring is in the Air
2 Sisters - Spring
Little Claire's Designs - Celebrate Spring
Stamping Vacation - Monochromatic Yellow
Crafts 4 Eternity #14 - Color -photo inspiration
 
Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I always enjoy hearing from you!  Hope you have a wonderful week with lots of crafting fun!
Hugs,
Darlene
