MIDNIGHT MADNESS SKETCH CHALLENGE 2


Happy Tuesday everyone! You know what that means........MMSC2!!!! Wow what a turn out we had for the first MMSC1!! Those of you who played along should be very proud of yourselves....what a terrific variety of cards you all made! It was great to go to your blogs to check them all out. We have some very talented crafters I must say!!

As a DT member I decided to be a little more creative this week and made a covered box instead of a card. I've had this black and white vintage image of two little girls for a while yet couldn't decide what to do with it, but then while looking through all the papers I have I came across the black corduroy cardstock, matched it with the pale pink and voila....there you have it! I raised the image and embossed with clear powder to give the little girls a vintage photograph appearance. I colored the rose pink with copics to give just a little hint of color. The box I covered first with the black corduroy cardstock then wrapped it in a black sheer thick ribbon. The lace I draped at the top and bottom of the box, then added a line of pink gems on the right side. The bow on top is the same sheer ribbon tied together with a metal flower button, lace and beads. A hat pin with beads was the last finishing touch.

I'm really delighted how it came out, but I'd love to hear what you think!

If you haven't been over to Priscilla's blog yet, you might want to check it out and join in the fun.....
