MMSC47 Splashy Sabrina

12:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Good Morning Everyone!! This post is prescheduled since I am down with the flu and not able to be on the computer at this time. Hopefully I am able to sleep when this goes live. I was so hoping I would escape this illness that my family has had but I guess that was not meant to be....

Anywho...today is Tuesday and that means it is time for another Midnight Madness Sketch!!
This week's sponsor is Priscilla herself with her Priscilla- styles Store.

Priscilla carries awesome templates for dimensional envelopes. Each one of the dt members was blessed with one of her templates to use for this month's challenges!! And I think....one person will be lucky to win one as a bonus prize this week. Check here to find out what this week's prize is.

Here is this week's sketch:

Here is my take on this week's Sketch:

For my card I used the Whimsy image: Splashy Sabrina (which is part of my blog candy here). I colored her with water colors, cut her out and popped her up on dimensionals on a background dry embossed with the Provocraft Bubbles folder. I thought the fun fur was perfect for this image and so fun. The dp is from my scrap bin and from Stampin Up's Flock Together dp. I used the the Martha Stewart shell border punch for the edges.

The 6 x 6 envelopes templates from Priscillastyles store make it look like such a gift.

I tried to show photos of all angles on the envelope. The envelope is 3/4 thick so it holds cards with a lot of dimension. I sewed the edges of the envelope and embossed flourishes from Stampin Ups Priceless stamp set. The flowers are punched out using a SU punch and the name escapes me at the moment (Sorry). To close the envelope I have added a velcro closure.

I hope you can join us for the MMSC47 sketch. We can't wait to see your creations. If you do create a card or project, please leave a direct on Mr. Linky here. For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my talented dt sisters:

Risa said...: Hi Chris,
I'm sorry that I haven't been around to visit lately. I've been so busy trying to get ahead with behind the scene projects and the days simply aren't long enough at times. I'm so sorry to hear that your family has been sacked with the dreaded flu! This has to be extremely difficult to watch your hubby and kids suffer while being sick yourself! I've said a prayer for all of you and I'm wishing for a speedy recovery.
Your card and envelope are beautiful and full of wonderful details! I'm going to have to visit Priscilla's store and buy a template or two.
Take care and make sure you drink a lot of fluids and get as must rest as possible!
Big Hugs

You are such an inspiration. I just love this card and have scrolled through the other projects on your page that are all just stunning! I love your lacing on this and the way the punches make it look like such a lacy and feminine card. Your envelope is so beautiful too with all the beautiful flourishes and pretty dp flap.
