MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC88)

Happy Tuesday Folks!
Are you ready for another Midnight Madness challenge? All these Valentine's heart cards I'm seeing in blogland are just gorgeous! Some of them are so creative and it shows you are all in the Valentine's spirit!
Congratulations to all our winners this week.
our Masterpiece Award goes to
#59 Grace N
Our Remarkables go to
#21 Karin van Eijk
#53 Julie Glasgow
#54 Nancy Brown
Our sponsors are The Beary Scrap
Our Monthly Sponsor is Lindy's Stamp Gang 
This week I decided to make two cards using one of Priscilla's images. I couldn't decide which to use after I had colored them so I used both! The first card I cut the heart wreath out, added a metal charm in the center and used lots of stitching.
On my second card I used the image with distressed edging then used some Moonglow stains on the background dp from Lindy's Stamp Gang. Moonglow Moon Shadow in van Dyke Sepia and Starburst Stains in Creme Brulee Cream. I also embossed the dp on the second card.
Flowers are from Prima and pearls from Michael's
Here are the two cards together so you can see the difference with the two images!
Please take the time to visit my DT sisters and leave them some love!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Charlotte

    Both your cards are very pretty! Love the stiching and the big bow on the striped one, and the embossed dp on the other is fab! Love how you layered the scalloped cirkles!

  8. Wonderful cards. I especially love the one where you cut the image out and framed it with sewing around the edges. LindaS/PSDT
