Hello everyone! This is my last week as Guest Design Diva for Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I have to tell you that I struggled with this week's card! This is one of the lovely images I received from our Monthly Sponsor, D'Amour Allure. It's a vintage image that is 1 1/4" high and 4" wide. Trying to work it into the circle sketch this week was a real challenge for me! I hope you like what I finally came up with! Once again this week Priscilla is giving you the choice of a more simple layout or one that's stepped up a bit!
I watercolored this image using inks and highlighted with gold gel pen and Sakura Glitter pen for the trumpet. While you can't see it in the photo, the DP behind the pendant is a vintage musical score which I mounted on chipboard to give strength and additional dimension to the card. The cranberry DP is printed with a beautiful gold flourishy pattern that also doesn't really show up in the photo.
Card Recipe:
Stamp: D'Amour Allure
CS: Very Vanilla, Cranberry Crisp
Designer Paper: Prima's First Blush, Textured God from The Paper Co
Accessories: Spellbinders Lattice Pendant and extra pieces from that set, CB Embossing Folder for corners,
Piercing tool, Clear Glitter Sakura Gel Pen for the trumpet, Burgandy Pearls from myb stash.
This is the prize for this weeks MMSC38 bonus winner...
The MMSC38 prize is a 6X6 kit with stamps embellishments and everything fun!!
