Boy oh boy...whew...long week-end! Sick children, sick me and now sick hubby. I haven't played with my paper and glue for 4 whole days. Talking about withdrawl! I'm ready for everyone to get well and back to school and work and let me have a little breather! ;D Do you ever feel that way? Gosh knows, I really do love them. LOL
The good news is that I finished my card for the Midnight Madness sketch challenge before we all got the "bug". This sketch scared me to death...YES scared me! It is very cool but has some very unusual shapes ... the perfect sketch for a good challenge. ;D
And here is my card:
This is a closer look at Priscillastyles pretty digi image Sweet Pea Flowers in all it's twining vine goodness:
I altered, resized and printed my digi stamp, colored it with Copics and highlighted areas with Sakura glaze pen. I cut the image out with my oval nestie using my fab Spellbinders Grand Caliber. The rest is pretty straight forward. But if you have any questions...let me know. In the meantime come play at Midnight Madness. There is always a ton of inspiration to be found there!
Thanks for stopping by!
Waw such a creative take on the image

Hello, Diana! Hope your family is doing well right now, I also had a terrible flu for a week and I wasn't able to get out of bed, but now thank God I'm okay. I have to say that I admire what you are doing, you are very talented :D

Let's hope the bug stays away and we are all well from now on. What started out as unusual turned out beautifully!!! Great take on the sketch: )

Hi...wow this is beautiful. Your coloring of the purple is so soft and pretty. I love the pearls and the green bow really bring it together.
Have a great day!

Diana this is fabulous - love how you have manipulated the sweet pea image, and your colouring is amazing. So love those soft mauves and blues.
I know what you mean about bugs - went to help my DD as her household was floored, and then got it myself - an hour after I got home...
Blessings
