This card is coming 3 days after the challenge was posted, but it's taken me that long to come up with something! LOL I was about to skip this challenge, and then decided to try a little harder. The Midnight Madness Sketch challenge can be found here and this is for #24. My card strayed a little from the original sketch, but this was what I came up with. I love the BG Indian Summer dsp, and I thought the Inkadinkado image would go perfectly with it, but it just isn't working for me! I think the wc paper is too bright and I probably should have sponged it to tone it down. I colored it with Tombows and a wet brush and embossed the entire image afterward with clear ep. I used a Dusty Durango base and Crushed Curry accents on the corners. I used Nestabilities Petite Ovals for the main image and a Marvy scalloped oval punch for the smaller Durango panels underneath. I added some snippets of matching ribbon, some Topaz colored gemstones and finally finished this card, but I must admit my heart just isn't into this one. Ah well, we'll all have days like that I suppose.Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific Friday..........the weekend is almost here!

Sometimes I feel this way as well....and that is when I get the most views and comments on split coast and can't figure it out!!! LOL Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....an I am beholden one spectacular and lovely creation!!! Thanks for playing along with us at MMSC this week. We really appreciate it.

Carol, you are not alone! I struggled with my card for this week too but I think my mind just wasn't in it! Sometimes we don't get the feel for a sketch but then get over critical with the results!! Your card came out perfect and I wouldn't change a thing! I love your brilliant coloring and the dp was a good choice. All those fabulous Fall colors set off your cornucopia just perfectly! Well done!
Thanks so much for sticking with it and entering this week. Kudos to you!
