Midnight Madness Sketch #106

For my Midnight Madness Design Card for this week I used this wonderful grape digital stamp from Priscillastyles store.  My grape image was colored and shaded with my copics.  My metal leaf with beads was from my stash. (I saved it from a candle that I had already used and threw away).  My cardstocks are from Bazzill and Minds Eye.  My solid cardstock was embossed with my cuttlebug folder (scroll)  I popped up my grape image for a more 3-D look.

Pixie Cottage Sketch and or Tag It!

For my Pixie Cottage Design card I used the adorable stamp called Crawling Cassie by Lisa Schmidt.  
I haven't done a baby card for awhile and as this dp from graphic 45 is so whimsical, I thought that it was perfect for this baby card.  Cassie was colored and shaded with my copic markers.  Card stock was by Bo Bunny and Graphic 45.  There is lots of layering and one of the few cards that I made with no glitter!  My ribbon was colored with my copics.  Charms are from my stash.
