Should "Tiki the Toucan" get the Halloween treatment too?

And here is this weeks card.....

Here is this weeks Sketch and our Design Team Creations:

For this weeks sketch I decided to create my own version of the Prima Flowers "Grand Dame Mermaid" Here is a picture of the package.

Now here is my version.....

This was created using the following materials


Spellbinders nestabilities dies
Satin fabric
Organza
Lace (airbrushed)
Glitter applied to the edges with Crystal Effects
Liquid applique (white)
Prima flower center jewel


I "molded " the petals by spraying the layers with fabric stiffener and laying them in various sized dishes. I dried them with my heat gun. DO NOT  heat the organza layer without sandwiching them between the other layers as they WILL melt ( ask me how I know!) Liquid applique was applied to some edges and heated with the heat gun. The glitter was added to other layers. The flower was assembled with transparent thread and needle. Below is a step by step picture tutorial of some Halloween flowers I did the same way if you are interested. Honestly this really doesn't take a long time......All the same size layers can be cut at once!


Other items used:


Brick wall rubber stamp from CHF
Adirondak paint dauber in pearl (wall)
Recollections swirls
Sizzix die cut frame painted with Ranger crackle paint and rubbed with purple ink
Ribbon
Glitter applied to the wet paint from the wall stamp


Here are the Halloween photos:

Glitter applied to edges

Assembly order of layers


Thanks for stopping by and be on the look-out for some holiday flowers too!

Hello! I am Roberta from Prairie Fairy Designs. I am a digital stamp company featuring artwork not only created by me but also my two kids, ages 9 and 12. They are featured on the site as the Fairy Princess and the Prairie Prince.

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and have always loved to create. Two years ago my sister-in-law invited me to a rubber stamp party. I laughed and said "Maybe I will buy something if I can use it to stamp on canvases.". Needless to say, I was hooked! Two years later, a lot of learning about computers, and a few setbacks with web stuff (I am so not tech savvy!) I finally accomplished my goal. We have been around since the spring and still growing.

If you have any questions about going digital, check out the site and the blog (www.prairiefairy.blogspot.com) for more information, tips and tutorials. So head on over to http://www.prairiefairydesigns.com and check it out!

here is the weekly prize

Thank you so much Roberta!!

MMSC #67........

Hello everyone, we have some wonderful announcements for you today. First, we are just thrilled to have three new additions to the MM Design team for the next few months. Below you will find out a little bit about each of them. They are each so talented and will add their own special flair to the MMSC each week.

Next, I am so excited and proud to reveal the first ever “priscillastyles” Design Team.
Click HERE to see who these fabulous and talented ladies are.

Connie M.
 I was born and raised in hot and sunny southern Arizona, where I still currently reside. In June, 1994, I married my high school sweetheart and best friend, and we have two wonderful children together. Paper crafting has been a passion of mine for many years. I have been stamping on and off since shortly after I got married in 1994. However, in 2004, one of my dear friends got me majorly hooked on stamping again. A few years later, I was introduced to SplitCoastStampers (SCS) where you may know me as cmc2stamp. I have learned so much from the other wonderfully talented stampers on SCS, and my own stamping style has grown by leaps an bounds over the last few year! I have an ever growing gallery on SCS, and a blog McStampin Dusk Til' Dawn which I started in September 2008. In addition to stamping, I really enjoy the outdoors - camping and hiking, and spending time with my loving family!
I have been a fan of Priscilla's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenges since week one!! I am so excited to be joining such a wonderfully talented design teem for the next three months!!

Holly Moore
Darn, this is so exciting! Thank you Priscilla for the honor of being a Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge Guest Designer. I'm sure this will be a wonderful AND FUN journey; you and the gals have already made me feel so welcome. That and the inspiration keep me coming back for more. Plus, I am a born encourager, so I'm thrilled to get in there and give lots of Kudos to y'all too!Anyway, "Hi!" I'm a Holly who was born in the summer (not Christmas) in Wyoming. (Probably why I say "Darn!") Yes, I love cowboys and camping and cross country skiing. Something about the Arizona desert where I have lived for a long time gets my heart right there too.
Eleven years ago I married my hero and we moved from sunny AZ to Washington State. I was home alone a lot, and as bored work-widow I started scrapbooking. And I couldn't stop. You know, the wedding, the honeymoon. . . then later the house, the new puppy, and now, my two beautiful daughters, my muses Tessa (3) and Izzy (21 mo.)During the last 3 years, with the help of inspiring blogs like this one, I started to really branch out. Now I dabble in (okay, I am downright addicted to) all sorts of delicious paper projects. Oh, yeah and I like to sing, "Let's get this party started right. . ." is going through my head right now. Probably because I am so excited.

Marsha Sanderlin
 I live in Camden, NC (close to the Outer Banks). I am blessed with a wonderful husband, four children and oodles of grandchildren.I have always had a passion for art. I remember drawing pictures for my grandmother when I was just a toddler. I took a few classes over the years but did not get serious again until I started scrapbooking with a group at my church. This led to stamping and I found my niche! I started sending cards to my "secret pal" in my ladies Bible study group and the next thing I knew, I'd volunteered to start a card ministry in our church! I retired a little over three years ago and my craft room has been growing ever since! I love all kinds of techniques and stamp styles, but found my true passion when I was introduced to “vintage” art. My first Midnight Madness challenge was a real eye opener. I have never seen so many sensational creations! The sketches that Priscilla creates week after week are phenomenal and so challenging. I am in awe and admire everyone on the design team, I have never seen so many talented ladies in one group at one time! I feel like I have stretched and grown so much as a designer as I have participated in the challenges week after week. I am just so honored to have been selected as a guest designer and hope I can also be an inspiration to others.

Now here is my "Wags n' Whiskers" creation for this week.

This card was created using papers from DCWV and SU. A spellbinders frame and a new EK Success punch added focal interest. The lattic is covered with MS glitter but didn't photograph well. The flowers are Prima and the image was colored with copic markers. I guess this was my rendition of "clean and simple". Hope to see you next week. I will have my usual  elaborate card to show you. Have a great week all!

And here is my take on this weeks sketch

This image in this card is the wooden door digi from Tracy Vinson's "Behold, I stand at the door" I decided to give it a Halloween treatment. I printed the door twice, cut them out and layered the frame on with little foam pads. The vines around the door are pieces of a curly willow tree that I kept just for embellishments sake. They were pretty dried out so I soaked them in water an hour or so. I actually got them to "keep shape " by weaving them onto a frame made out of small finishing nails. I put a copy of the door onto a wood block and then placed the nails around where I thought they could hold the vines. Worked out pretty well. After 24 hrs of drying I was able to remove them and glue them onto the door. As if that wasn't enough work, I decided the door needed orange lights! ( of all things )..... The lights were made by stringing  tiny orange seed beads onto clear thread and then gluing them in intervals with a dab of crazy glue gel. They were then strung among the vines. And what self-respecting Halloween door wouldn't be complete without some cob webs. Now mind you I used to have a bag of this stuff (SOMEWHERE) from last years card crafting. Do you think I could find the daNG THING? (nah). So, after a trip to 3 stores ( now mind you this IS August) I finally snagged some at "Party City".

Other supplies pressed in to service were my Tim Holtz brick embossing folder, EK Success bat border punch, Prismacolor pencils/gamsol, ribbon, gem and pearls. The finishing touch was a pumpkin made from Fimo clay. Hope you like it!

Have a great week everyone and come back next week for a look at my first CAS (clean and simple) card.

Holly
