Okay, so perhaps I took this a little too literally, since it is one hour until midnight, when this sketch challenge is over!! I felt a little like Cinderella trying to get this card done on time, LOL!! Anyway, this is my entry for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #12.
I loved this sketch, and wanted to get back to doing these wonderful Midnight Madness Sketch Challenges. I was inspired by Kard Krazy's Tag Challenge (#11) for today, which was Summer Flowers. The two challenges just seemed to naturally come together! My idea for this card was that of an old botanical journal sort of springing to life.My tag image is from Inkadinkado, colored with Copics, cut out, and popped up on a tag made with some K and Co. text paper, set atop a hydrangea background image from Mary Mata in vellum. The background of the card is made up of Graphic 45 paper (cut up and repositioned), with some Laura Ashley printed vellum at the bottom. The ribbon across the card and the flowers are from my stash. The ribbon on my tag is Martha Stewart.
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful evening!
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the colour palette you've used here!
