Midnight Madness and Michelle's Masculine Challenge!

Posting this for the Midnight Madness Sketch over at "Pricillastyles" blog. I am so impressed by the awesome design team they have over there, Wow!! Check out the DT's cards for this sketch. Amazing work! I also followed Michelle's (aka Stop and Stamp the Roses) Dare to Get Dirty challenge over on SCS. I didn't get to participate in this years' DGD challenges at all but I did want to pay homage to one of my all time fav Dirty Girls so I made sure to follow her challenge as well: 1. ONE piece of pattern paper 2. TWO stamps 3. THREE colors I layered with one piece of patterned paper (unknown), the two stamps I used are the Pheasants image from Northwood Rubber Stamps and Itty Bitty Backgrounds from SU. The 3 colors are Brown, Kraft, and Green. I tried using some Gold Glimmer Shimmerz paint on the Pheasants that I got at a recent Rubberstamp show, but it didn't show up very well here. The feathers came in a little package I picked up eons ago because I "might" need them for a card some day...but I don't remember where I got them, they are from "Touch of Nature." I added some jumbo eyelettes from Eyelet Outlet and "hung" the image with some hemp fiber. I have to send this card off ASAP to my brother in-law, his BD is Wednesday and like a good stamper, I am late sending out my own cards!! Aghhh!! I need to get better organized!! TFL, I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's beautiful! Such a nice card for a man.... a woman too, but those masculine cards are hard to come by. Great job. Thank you so much for playing with us at the MMSC this week! Hope you will play again.

ohhhhhhhhh Anne, your entry this week is just so beautiful and you are just brillant with those feathers..I have a ton of feathers and this is such a great way to use them..I will keep that one in the memory banks for sure..I clicked to enlarge and you just did a great job on the coloring too :). It all works perfectly. Thank you so much for playing our sketch challenge. I for one, look forward to the viewing the entries each week. I get so much inspiration and ideas from our players. Please think of some friends that you know that do not play our challenges, because we are going to have a "Refer a Friend" challenge coming soon with extra prizes ;) we are always trying to keep it fresh at the Midnight Madness challenge blog.
