Sure hope you're enjoying your weekend everyone! I know I sure am. It's just a shame they have to end so quickly! My Magnolia-licious DT sister, Jacque, told me about this awesome blog, Priscillasytles, and she has a sketch challenge called Midnight Madness. Jacque said they're really friendly and have fun challenges and really yummy give aways! So I popped over and checked them out. WOW! I am very impressed! Pricscilla is extremely talented and I love her blog! Her DT is awesome too! So anyway, I made this card to join in on their current challenge! I took a bunch of pics of the card, but just couldn't get the right angle. I have a hard time getting pics of the 5 x 7 cards for some reason. Sorry for the wonky pic!!
I LOVE that beautiful flower and I got it from Chris Sather on the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group! I have no idea the maker, but I wish I did. I've been hoarding it for the perfect card! I can't remember which store I got that cute little angel charm from. And that pretty little pink rose in the center of the flower, came from Jacque. Thank you Chris and Jacque! I think it was the perfect combination to go on top of my bow which was made with my Bow Easy!
This adorable little hippo is called Shy Hilda by Motivet! Oh I'm trying SO HARD not to get totally hooked on these stamps. But it's a losing battle. I colored her with my Copic markers, and she was really easy to color!! I could just kick myself, cause this was the PERFECT card to use one of my cute cuttlebug embossing folders, and I totally spaced it! Dang it! Too late now! Oh well....next time!
So be sure and pop over and visit Priscilla. Take a look at her awesome cards and templates she has! All I can say is WOW! Thanks for visiting me today and enjoy the rest of your weekend! HUGS!

Little Hilda is just precious...beautiful coloring job and very stunning color combination...I love it!!! Hugs..Jacque
ReplyDeleteCute hippo, Sharon, and wonderful coloring! I saw these Motivet stamps at the stamp convention, but had to pass up getting any, since I'd spent my quota. Adorable images by this company.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, card -- thanks for sharing!
Hugs, Lillian
Oh is she the sweetest Sharon! Love what you did with the sketch. BTW, that is a Prima flower called Chatres Lace. I can't believe I JUST put one on a card I was doing today. Now gonna go visit Priscilla and see what's up. Thanks for the link. xxD
ReplyDeleteOh Sharon!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are WAY too hard on yourself.
Your card is perfect and delightful. Little HILDA is soooooo Cute! I can see why you are hooked. Oh for a money tree!! LOL
Love the charm, flower and your colouring OF COURSE!
Love, Candy
Love your card Sharon! The image is just adorable!! Oh, and by the way, I totally do the same thing with the embossing folders. I don't know how many cards I have put together and then realized it was perfect for embossing. So annoying!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love your card. What a sweet image, and pink is my favorite color, so this is definately a winner in my book. Thank you so much for playing with us at the MMSC this week. We appreciate your support and hope that you will play with us again next week.

Hi Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI love you little hippo--how funny that her name is shy Tilda !!! You colored her perfectly--love the shading. Your work and cards are excellent. Number#1 fan!!'Monica
Gosh you are so talented! Love your owls! I have some of them but not the sidebars!! Cute!!
ReplyDeleteSharon, I'm so excited that you are playing along too! Don't you love this challenge site? Your card is fabulous as I knew it would be. And your pictures are great. All of my cards (at least 90%) are 5 X 7. So I'm used to how to do the pics. What I do is simply get as close as I can so that the top and the bottom of the card is almost touching the top and bottom of the camera viewer frame. I don't worry much about the size of space on the sides of the cards. Then I simply crop it close with my photo editing and they turn out fine. I think the frame thing is the key. Hope that helps! But I think your pics look just fine! Best, Curt
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love that little hippo. Simply adorable.
