MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC63)

It's Tuesday again and I'm still in Holland! By now we will have enjoyed the party for my in-laws celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary but will be flying home in a few days time....back to reality with catching up on emails (I don't even want to think how many will be in my inbox), laundry (blah) and probably with jet lag too! LOL
Until then, let's enjoy some fun going on over at Midnight Madness. Are you ready for this sketch? I loved this one with all the flowers and ribbon and enjoyed making my card this week.
Before I forget, Congratulations to all our winners for the Masterpiece and Remarkables Awards. I'll get to view them all on my return.
Our sponsor this week is D'Amour Allure
Our Monthly sponsor is Sew Many Cards
For my card this week I used this darling image called Jenna from D'Amour Allure and colored her in copics. For the sky I first chalked it blue then used modge podge with sparkles to give it a shiny and sparkly effect, kinda like a stary night! For the moon I colored it then placed a jumbo rain dot from Cloud9 Designs on top to give dimension.
This photo was taken with the light reflecting on the sparkles so you can see them better. I also popped the sweet image and sentiment up on foam dots away from the sky.
Flowers are from Prima, ribbon and lace from JoAnn's and pearls from Michael's
Isn't this metal globe charm beautiful! I found it at JoAnn's in the Blue Moon charms and thought it would be the perfect addition to this card. As I am on the other side of the ocean and missing my blogging friends, what better way to send some love to you all to let you know that I am thinking about you!
Don't forget to stop by the lovely DT ladies and show them some love.
See you really soon,
Hugs,
Charlotte
