MMSC#14


I decided to get my feet wet and play the Midnight Madness sketch challenge #14 today. I got out some Cuttlebug folders, punches, and some White, Navy, and Green Galore cardstock and got busy. I embossed the navy panel with the Cuttlebug leafy branch EF, and lightly swiped it with a white inkpad. I embossed the narrow white panel with a Cuttlebug buttons EF, and layered that on a navy and green galore panel that was punched with the MS doily punch. I adhered a piece of ribbon directly on the button-embossed panel, and layered the sentiment directly on the ribbon, using nesting ovals and a word window punch from SU!. The sentiment was done with an Inkadinkado stamper in Navy ink. I added a few silver beads for interest in the corners and on the sentiment panel. I've had the navy polka dot ribbon in my stash forever but I don't know who made it.
Thanks for taking some time to visit me here today - it's always great to hear from you :)

Very nice, I like the way that black really POPs off the card...very striking.
I tried for a couple hours last night to make a card...but NOTHING would come together for me...

Oh is that gorgeous! I have never thought of that color combo, but I will now. It looks fabulous, and that border punch is my favorite. Wonderful card. Thank you so much for playing with us at the MMSC this week. We love having you and hope that you will join us in the fun again next week.
