MMSC78 My Cup of Tea/Bird Song

Where has the week gone - it is time for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge once again - and we all love that don't we!  It is great to see so many of you playing along with us - your card are fabulous!!  What a week I have had but I will put that aside and show you what I have created using Priscilla's fabulous sketch!


My first card is using this gorgeous teacup from "priscillastyles" Stores - this is a fabulous image to colour - and all card stock is form your monthly Sponsor The Paper Temptress- and they are divine, I love the textures and the quality of the card stock - thank you Patricia for being so generous to the Design TeamT - I am going to have such fun this week!


  I used my SU Chalks and a Blender Pen - you know how I love those Chalks!!


I have popped the cup on foam tape -you can see the dimension above = it always makes a card 'pop!'
My next card is using the image from our Weekly Bonus Sponsor DRS designs - I fell in love with this darling little bird as soon as I saw it - it is the most adorable shape and that wins me every time!!


The image has been coloured with SU chalks and a Blender Pen


and popped up onto a Spellbinders Large Oval with foam dots


Crotchet lace is added around the oval, along with assorted flowers and Kaiser Chocolate Pearls.
The card stock is also from our monthly Sponsor, The Paper Temptress and has been embossed, I love the way the embossing is so deep on the gold - perfect!  DieCut corners have been added and come Distressed Stickles as a finishing touch.

  19. Linda, two more totally gorgeous creations from you! Both beautiful in their own way, but that little bird is just darling sitting alone on the branch surrounded by the lace and flowers. Gorgeous embossing and those die cut corners bring it together beautifully.

  21. Wow, Linda! What beautiful cards. I love the paper you used...so much texture! I collect teac cups, saucers and pots. She made a wonderful image with that tea cup...and you did a great job chalking it up! I had no idea you could use a blender pen with chalk! Thanks for the tip!

    The second card is just darling also. I love that cute little bird. I really like those precut frames. I have some somewhere...big time saver...and they can look just as elegant as you have shown!

    Hope you have time to stop by the He IS Able blog. We just finished a 4 part series on His mercy. How amazing it really is! I learned more and more. I hope you will be blessed with your visit. Can't wait until you participate!
