Pixie Cottage Sketch Challenge and or Royal Wedding

For my design card for Pixie Cottage today I have used the stamp To You From Us by Di Carubia.
My papers are making memories and bazzill.  I colored and shaded my images with my copics.  Embossing was with my cuttlebug folder.  Ribbons and trims were from my stash.
It's Wednesday so it means another challenge here at The Pixie Cottage!
As always we have 2 parts to the challenge and you can choose either or both to play along with.
We have a fabulous sketch and our theme this week is "It's A Royal Wedding!"

Remember you can use the sketch or the optional technique or both!
The randomly picked winner will win two stamps of their choice from the Pixie Cottage Collection. The winner and the Top 3 favorites will be announced on the Friday after the challenge ends.

Midnight Madness Sketch #99

 

 For my design card for this week I used this adorable kitty image from our sponsor Doodle Pantry. I used both copic markers and prima colored pencils on my image.  I just love her fluffy tail! My cardstocks are by Bazzill and Bo Bunny.  I am planning on giving this to my best friend Lesia.  She just LOVES cats. Her husband is a police officer near here and he often finds and rescues cats and kittens.  It is always amazing to me how people just dump animals especially defenseless kittens.  Anyway Lesia and I have been friends since elementary school and she is simply a purrr-fect friend!

Midnight Madness Sketch #98

  

For my Midnight Madness card this week I used this wonderful digital flower with matching digital floral dp from studio 313.  I just LOVE Shawne's images and papers!  These papers coordinate beautifully!
This is the first time that I have printed out my own paper.  I just love the fact that you never run out.  Just print out however much you need, over and over again.    For my project, I used 2 of the 3 paper choices with this floral set.  Flowers and butterfly are by Prima and my solid is by bazzill.
