MMSC40 Life Is Like A Bicycle ... Antiqued Card

As I am recovering from our last winter blast and awaiting the next one to hit us tomorrow, I would like to take a short break and share with you my MMSC40 card.  This image is one that has been shared with us by our sponsor Cornish Heritage Farms  They have some very beautiful stamps to choose from.  Drop by their site for a look.  You will fall in love.  We would also like to thank our weekly sponsor:  Stamp and Create for their sponsorship and giveaway this week.  Drop over to the Midnight Madness Blog for all of the details on this and the lastest MM news. 

Congratulations to our MMM and MMR winners this week:

Carolyn: I love how your side panel is just filled with awesome gorgeous detail. I had to click larger to get the full effect of you lovely work. This is spectacular right down to the tiny detail of the gold eyelash yarn on your sentiment. Simply exquisite!

This card is so great! I love the colors and the aged look of it. It looks simple at first and then all the details just pops at you one by one.

Very pretty!

Fabulous card design for this challenge Carolyn. Love the elegance and the classic look on this layout. You sure have no problem with this sketch, but I couldn't think of an idea for this sketch, so I used the easier one for my challenge card :op
Hugs,
